A Barrie man is facing an impaired driving charge after police say he crashed into a tree late Monday night.

A homeowner contacted Barrie police at around 11 p.m., to report that a vehicle had lost control and crashed into a tree on Edgehill Drive.

According to the caller, two people got out of the vehicle and fled the crash scene on foot.

Officers conducted a search of the area and found the pair walking nearby. The driver, a 53-year-old man, was arrested and charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving and fail to remain.

The driver had his licence suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for seven days.

The accused has been released from custody on a promise to appear before a Barrie court later this month.
