A driver is now facing several criminal and Highway Traffic Act charges after reportedly running from police and smashing into a house in Cambridge.
On Thursday evening, a Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) traffic officer noticed a grey 2012 Ford Focus with two different licence plates – both expired.
The officer tried to pull the car over on Can-Amera Parkway, but the driver refused to stop.
“The vehicle was later observed in the area of Langs Drive and Mary Avenue. No attempt was made to stop the vehicle at that time,” said WRPS in a statement. “A short time later, the driver continued travelling before colliding with a residence on Concession Road.”
Police say the driver ran off on foot after the crash but was caught nearby and taken into custody.
The man, 33 years old, is being held for a bail hearing.
Investigations are still ongoing, and police are asking anyone who saw what happened to get in touch with them.
