Guelph police say a 64-year-old man has been charged following a crash near Goldie Mill Park that saw a car go airborne and end up 50 metres from the road.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Cardigan Street and London Road on Wednesday at around 11:30 a.m. for reports of a single-vehicle collision.
Police said their investigation shows that the vehicle was eastbound on London and blew past a stop sign before it struck a grass berm near the Goldie Mill parking lot.
