(ZORRA TOWNSHIP, ON.) – Oxford County Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) investigated a fail to remain collision that occurred on the evening of July 1, 2013. At approximately 11:00 p.m. four youths between the ages of 15 and 18 years old were travelling northbound on bicycles on the 47th Line in Zorra Twp., just north of Road #68.
A vehicle travelling northbound struck one of the cyclists from behind causing that youth to be knocked into the ditch. Another cyclist was knocked down as a result of the chain reaction of the collision.
The vehicle driver involved in the collision did stop briefly and spoke to the other cyclists involved. When they told the driver a cyclist had been hit, the driver left the scene. The youth who was struck was transported to Woodstock General Hospital for treatment of injuries.
O.P.P. has now charged 28 year old Joshua BAER of Zorra Township under the Criminal Code of Canada with:
Fail to Stop at Scene of Accident Involving Bodily Harm
Public Mischief
The male will appear on Tuesday November 19, 2013 in the Ontario Court of Justice in Woodstock.
