WHITBY -- An early-morning crash that caused extensive damage to vehicles and property in a residential neighbourhood has led to a drunk-driving charge against a Whitby man.
Durham police were called to Scott Street in the area of Manning and Garrard roads at 1:40 a.m. Sunday. Witnesses told cops a van had been speeding northbound when the driver lost control and tore across several lawns and through a hedge before slamming into a parked pickup.
When officers arrived the van was on its roof and the truck lay on its side in a garden in the front yard of a residence, police said. Officers located the driver as well as two others who had been in the van nearby. The driver was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
Both the pickup and the van were heavily damaged, police said. Damage in the incident is estimated at $60,000.
Dylan Evely, 19, of Crawforth Street in Whitby, is charged with impaired driving.
