(Hit & Run) x 2

A 29 year old Dartmouth man will appear in court at a later date charged with impaired driving and leaving the scene of an accident after two separate collisions early this morning.
At 7:08 am police responded to a hit and run accident on the Mackay bridge. A Dartmouth bound vehicle, being operated by the accused, struck another car and fled the area eastbound on highway 111 without stopping.
At approximately 7:55am, the same vehicle was reported to have struck a pole in front of 47 Joseph Young Street. The accused fled the vehicle and ran inside the apartment building at this location. He was arrested by police without incident. There were no injuries in either accident.
