Witnesses at the scene reported that one of the involved drivers had fled the scene on foot and was last seen traveling towards the Town of Wyoming.
OPP obtained a physical description of the male driver and activated the Lambton OPP Canine Unit.
Canine attended the location and commenced a track while officers patrolled the surrounding area.
A short time later, a male party fitting the description of the suspected driver, was located walking on Broadway Street, Wyoming.
OPP officers made contact with the male who was uncooperative with police.
Investigating officers quickly formed the opinion that the driver of the motor vehicle was impaired due to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
