A motor vehicle collision overnight Monday led to an impaired driving charge against a 21-year-old.

Thunder Bay police said they made the arrest after the accused fled on foot from a Simpson Street single-vehicle collision that allegedly saw the suspect lose control of his car and strike metal sidewalk bells lining the sidewalk.

The suspect, who was taken into custody, but not named by police, faces charges of impaired driving, driving with over 90 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

He is expected to appear in court in September.
