Cambridge man charged after hit-and-run collision in Guelph

A Cambridge man is facing charges following a hit-and-run crash earlier this month in Guelph.

Emergency services were called to the area of Paisley Road and Imperial Road South around 3:30 a.m. on Apr. 3. for a single-vehicle collision.

Police said a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck had struck a hydro pole, causing significant damage.

“Officers observed blood inside the vehicle and found a wallet and several beer cans, but the driver had fled the scene,” police said in a news release.

A short time later, Waterloo Regional Police reported the vehicle had been stolen from an address in Cambridge.

A 20-year-old man turned himself in to police Monday.

He is charged with failing to stop after an accident and taking a motor vehicle without consent. He will appear in court in July.
