The Timmins Police is grateful for the public assistance received in regards to its investigation into a traffic collision where one of the drivers involved fled the scene.
During the afternoon hours of Thursday, February 8th, the driver of the vehicle was travelling west on Algonquin Blvd and attempted to complete a left turn onto Mountjoy Street South.
In so doing, this driver entered the path on an oncoming east bound passenger vehicle causing the driver of the other vehicle to swerve to the right to avoid a collision.
The driver of the other vehicle struck a pole at the south east corner of Mountjoy Street and Algonquin Blvd as a result.
The resulting damage to that vehicle rendered it undriveable.
The Timmins Police sought assistance from the public and, shortly afterwards, the driver was identified
