An alleged impaired driver who police say fled the scene of a single-vehicle collision in Pickering over the weekend has been arrested and charged after being caught on camera running through backyards and attempting to hide from police.
In a two-minute-long video posted on social media, Durham Regional Police Service shared details of what they believe occurred following the April 19 crash, which happened shortly before 2 a.m. near Appleview Road and Dunbarton Road, just north of Highway 401 and east of Whites Road North.
Investigators said that as officers checked the area with the help of the K9 unit, their Air1 helicopter located a “suspicious” male matching the description of the driver walking through backyards and wooded areas. A pursuit then ensues during which the suspect is observed running away from two officers. While fleeing, he is seen falling over something and continuing to run away while “trying to hold up his pants,” someone in the chopper is heard saying.Police in Durham Region said that the suspect “showed signs” of alcohol consumption and impairment.
