Hit & Run & Drunk Driving – Abdul Hakimy

(Kingston, ON) – A driver on highway 401 caused a collision with a tractor trailer, then failed to stay at the scene, and resulted in charges for impaired driving.

Around 08:30 am on December 21, 2024 Frontenac detachment members were called to a vehicle collision on the eastbound side of highway 401, near the highway 15 exit. A driver in an SUV had sideswiped a tractor trailer traveling the same direction, causing it to roll over into the ditch. The driver was transported to hospital with minor injuries. The trailer was loaded with synthetic rubber, and spilled into the ditch, requiring extensive clean-up.

Witnesses stopped to assist the driver of the tractor trailer, including removing the windshield to free the injured driver. The driver of the SUV continued along the highway with a damaged vehicle.

Another witness followed the vehicle until it exited at the next off ramp of Joyceville road, who then called police to report it. Officers arrived shortly after and located the driver attempting to change a flat tire on the damaged SUV, and continued investigation determined the driver to be impaired. An arrest was made for further breath testing at detachment.
