Officials with the Thunder Bay Police Service say officers responded to two motor vehicle collisions shortly after 9 p.m.
The first collision took place in the parking lot of Wendy’s on Red River Road. The accused male driver, who is described by police only as a male youth, allegedly fled the scene and was involved in a head-on collision at the corner of Junot Avenue and Walkover Street.
The female driver of the other vehicle involved in that crash was taken to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre where she was treated for minor injuries.
The female passenger of the accused was also taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries.
Traffic officers with the city police department have charged the young man with failing to stop, two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm.
The youth is being held and is expected to make a court appearance Tuesday.
