Man in court on multiple driving offences

A 23-year-old Evatt man will face court today (Tuesday, 10 November) charged with several traffic offences.

Police were conducting routine patrols in Bruce when they came across a four-car collision at the intersection of Ginninderra Drive and Aikman Drive around 2.15pm yesterday.

Witnesses described a blue Toyota Camry collided with the four vehicles before driving off from the scene.

Emergency services were required to free the driver of one car while a second driver was taken to hospital for assessment.

Around 4.35pm police responded to reports of a single car collision in Florey where they found the blue Toyota had hit a fence.

The driver once again fled the scene; however, was apprehended shortly after when police located the man walking along Ennor Close.

The man will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today charged with Unlicenced driving; Drug driving; Not stop and give assistance; failing to stop and give particulars to the other driver after a collision and arrest without warrant for breaching good behaviour obligations.
