A young motorist faces impaired driving charges after a collision in a parking lot Tuesday night in Bracebridge.

Provincial police say officers responded to a two-vehicle crash in the lot on Manitoba Street just north of Monck Road around 9:30 p.m.

They say witnesses reported seeing a dark-coloured Avalanche speeding through the parking lot at that intersection before hitting a passenger vehicle travelling on Manitoba Street.

The collision caused significant damage, police say.

According to the OPP, officers located the vehicle involved on a side street and arrested an 18-year-old.

He faces charges of impaired operation, dangerous operation, and failing to stop after an accident.

Police encourage anyone with information on this incident to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
