A Wawa man's facing numerous charges after a collision on Mission Road.
Superior East OPP say they responded to the two-vehicle collision around 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, finding the suspect vehicle had fled the scene prior to officers arriving, though it was located a short time later, near a snowmobile trail off Highway 101.
According to police, officers determined while interacting with the driver that he'd consumed alcoholic beverages, with further investigation revealing he was prohibited from operating a motor vehicle, had taken the vehicle without consent - and that there was a firearm and ammunition in the vehicle.
As a result, the 25-year-old was arrested on 21 charges: operation while Impaired - alcohol and drugs; operation while Impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus); Dangerous Operation Causing Bodily Harm; Fail to Stop at Accident Resulting in Bodily Harm; Flight from Peace Officer; Take Motor Vehicle Without Consent; Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm; Knowledge of Unauthorized Possession of Firearm; Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose; Possession of a Firearm, Prohibited or Restricted Weapon Obtained by Crime; Possession of Firearm knowing Serial Number has been Tampered With; Fail to Comply With Probation Order; three counts of Operation while Prohibited; two of Careless Storage of Firearm or Ammunition; two of Transport Firearm or Ammunition in a Careless Manner; and two of Possession of Firearm or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order.
He was remanded into custody, pending a bail hearing.
