Police are looking for a suspect accused of driving erratically along Highway 12 and leaving the scene of a collision Thursday morning in Midland.
Southern Georgian Bay OPP reports an officer spotted the car weaving in and out of traffic eastbound shortly after 8 a.m. along the highway near Jones Road.
The officer followed with lights flashing and sirens blasting, but police say the driver refused to stop.
Police say the car blew through two red lights and drove into oncoming traffic while leaving Midland and entering Tay Township.
