Windsor police say officers were called to Dougall Avenue near Nottingham Street at around 11:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found one vehicle involved in the collision. The other vehicle, a green Ford F-150 pickup truck, was driven from the scene before police arrived.

No one was injured in the crash, according to Constable Talya Natyshak.

The 37-year-old Windsor man is charged with impaired driving, operation with over 80 milligrams of alcohol in blood, and breaching an undertaking by being outside his home with alcohol in his system. He is also charged with failing to stop at the scene of a crash.

The charges have not been proven in court.
