A driver suspected of being impaired was taken into custody after crashing their truck into a house in Whitby on Saturday night and then trying to escape on foot, according to police.
The accident occurred around 11:50 p. m. near Carnwith Drive East and Watford Street.
Authorities report that a white Chevrolet pick-up was speeding northbound on Watford Street when the driver ran a stop sign and collided with the home, resulting in considerable damage.
“The driver of the pick-up truck fled the scene on foot. Officers searched the area with the assistance of Air1 and located the male not far from the scene of the incident,” police said in a news release issued on Monday.
Lucas Desbois, 25, is facing four charges related to this incident, including impaired operation of a conveyance and dangerous operation of a conveyance.
He has since been released from custody under an undertaking and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
Police indicate that their investigation into the collision is still ongoing.
