Guelph police say an Arthur, Ont. man has been arrested following a hit-and-run crash on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers responded to a two-vehicle crash just before 5 p.m. at the corner of Silvercreek Parkway and Greengate Drive.
Police said despite the crash causing significant damage to both vehicles, one of them managed to drive away.
“Investigation led officers to a parking lot on Willow Road where they located a male standing beside a damaged vehicle,” police said in a news release.
The service added that the man purchased the vehicle in 2020 but never registered it or insured it. Police also allege the man’s driver’s licence has been suspended.
A 31-year-old man has been charged criminally with failing to stop after a collision along with several other offences under the Highway Traffic Act and the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
The accused is scheduled to make a court appearance next month.
