OPP say one person has been charged after police say a driver struck a construction worker in the Township of Perth East.

On Oct. 17, just after 6:15 p.m. officers investigated a collision on Road 111 in which the driver reportedly failed to remain at the scene.

Investigators said that the driver of the vehicle drove on a closed road, became confrontational, and “sped off,” striking a construction worker and fleeing the scene.
