Durham Police are seeking witnesses and video footage after two related collisions in Oshawa.
On Thursday, July 25, at about 7:20 pm, members from Central East Division responded to two related collisions in the area of Bloor Street East and Harmony Road South.
A white Dodge Ram pickup truck driving east bound on Bloor Street East sideswiped a Mazda SUV, also travelling eastbound. The pickup did not stop and fled the collision, said a police report.
The pickup then attempted to turn around to travel westbound on Bloor Street East and caused a second collision, striking a Mercedes SUV that was travelling westbound.
Police arrived on scene and observed the driver of the pickup showing signs of impairment. The driver was taken into custody without incident.
The driver of the Mercedes sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local area hospital.
The Dodge Ram driver, age 32 from Barrie, was charged. Police did not say whether he was held for bail or released on an undertaking. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with cellphone, dashcam, surveillance footage or information about this incident is asked to contact Cst. Boyd of Central East Division at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2169 or 4049@drps.ca.
