A 43-year-old Barrie man has been charged following a hit-and-run involving two vehicles on Thursday afternoon, police say.
“We received a call at 4:16 this afternoon for a motor vehicle collision just south of Big Bay Point Road on Sandringham Drive involving two vehicles,” Barrie police’s corporate communication co-ordinator Peter Leon told Global News Thursday.
At the time of the crash, the 43-year-old man fled on foot, and there was a significant response from Barrie police, Leon said.
The man was charged with failure to remain at the scene, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and operating a vehicle without insurance, Leon said in an email Friday.

“It appears that there may have been some minor injuries to the occupants of the other vehicle that was involved,” Leon said.
“They don’t sound to be life-threatening, but serious enough that an ambulance did respond.”
