DOWN TO THE WIRE! For three teenage passengers, two males and one female, 16 – 17 years of age, it definitely came down to the wire and a bit of sheer luck after the vehicle they were travelling in went out of control in a curve on Longsfield Dr. at the intersection of Jockvale Rd. and ended up slamming into the side of a house. The teens decided to catch a ride home with a young driver who happened to be impaired.
Witnesses reported being jolted from their sleep at around 2:50 a.m. on Sun., Apr. 29 and discovering a vehicle sitting on their front lawn.
The driver, who fled the scene immediately after the collision, was later found lying at the doorstep of a residence on Abetti Ridge, unconscious and soaking wet.
An initial search of the area by police and the K9 unit failed to locate the driver; however, a homeowner who awoke to the sound of a ringing doorbell at around 4 a.m. called police after he answered the door and found him sitting on his front steps.
Based on the initial investigation the vehicle was travelling southbound on Longsfield Dr. at high speeds when it lost control and left the roadway. After bouncing off of a hydro pole guy wire the car spun around and clipped the hydro pole. It then plowed backwards into the front of the house, sending shockwaves through the wooden structure, before coming to a rest on its side.
Due to the gravity of the situation and the underlying circumstances police criminally charged the 16-year-old Nepean male with one count of taking a motor vehicle without consent, three counts of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, three counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, and three counts of fleeing an accident scene after causing bodily harm.
In addition to repeating the message—DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE—it is also just as important to say, DON’T GET INTO A VEHICLE WITH AN IMPAIRED DRIVER. Before it comes down to the wire why not —PLAN AHEAD for a safe ride home.
