A Stratford native is facing charges following a hit-and-run incident involving a construction worker.
On October 17 just after 6 p.m., Perth County OPP responded alongside Perth County EMS to a report of a fail to remain collision on Road 111 in the Township of Perth East. Police determined during the investigation that the suspect drove onto a closed road with construction occurring, and the suspect then got into a verbal confrontation and sped off, striking a construction worker in the process. The worker suffered minor injuries as a result. Police have now charged a 29-year-old from Stratford with Assault with a Weapon and Fail to Stop After Accident.
The accused is now scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Stratford at a later date to answer to the charges.
