THUNDER BAY — A 64-year-old motorist was arrested by Thunder Bay Police on Saturday after an early-morning incident that sent a pedestrian to hospital.
A patrolling officer observed an SUV strike the pedestrian at 1:30 a.m. while making a turn from Arthur Street to Marks Street.
The person was taken to hospital for treatment of undetermined injuries.
After the motorist was stopped by police, he showed signs of possible impairment and was taken to police headquarters for evaluation by a Drug Recognition Expert.
However, the man refused to cooperate with the DRE officer.
He's now charged with several offences including refusal to comply with a demand for a test, and with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm.
The man was released from custody with conditions pending a future court appearance.
