Grey-Bruce OPP have charged a driver involved in two separate hit and run incidents.
The first occurred on August 23rd around 3 p.m. Officers responded alongside Grey County EMS and the Inter Township Fire Department to a collision involving a cyclist on Grey Road 1, near Indian Acres Road in the Township of Georgian Bluffs. The driver of the vehicle that hit the cyclist left the scene. The cyclist was transported to hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries.
At 3:30, the same vehicle was involved in a collision with a stationary vehicle on Balmy Beach Road in Georgian Bluffs. The driver once again fled but luckily this time no one was hurt.
As a result of the investigation, police have laid numerous charges against a 79-year-old Georgian Bluffs native. The accused was released from custody and has a court date scheduled for October 7th at the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound to answer to the charges.
