A Cobourg man faces charges after a multi-vehicle collision on Elgin Street on Tuesday afternoon.
Around 1:20 p.m., emergency crews responded to reports of a vehicle driving erratically and striking multiple vehicles in the town’s north end.
According to the Cobourg Police Service, several drivers and witnesses claim the driver of an eastbound van attempted to flee the scene after colliding with other cars, including mounting a curb.
However, a motorist helped prevent the suspect vehicle from leaving the scene by using his vehicle to block an area at Ontario and Elgin streets, police said.
