A Tillsonburg man is facing charges after a hit-and-run on Highway 401 ended with a foot chase through Dorchester.
A black pick-up truck crashed into a tractor trailer in the westbound lanes in Thames Centre around 12:30 p.m. on Monday. The heavily damaged pickup took off from the scene following the collision, Middlesex OPP said.
The truck was spotted shortly after in Dorchester driving on a rim.
Officers were able to stop the pickup on Marion Street, but the driver hopped out and ran from the scene. Police gave chase and arrested the individual without incident.
A 39-year-old Tillsonburg man is charged with impaired driving, failure to stop after an accident, and dangerous operation of a vehicle.
