BELLEVILLE, Ont. - A 20-year-old Codrington man faces charges after a car was flipped onto train tracks in Belleville, Ont., early Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015.
Belleville police responded to the accident (on West Moira St. at Wallbridge-Loyalist Rd.) shortly after midnight and discovered a car flipped on its side across train tracks.
Belleville fire also went to the scene because the car was leaking fuel, and all trains in the area were stopped to prevent another collision.
Police say they received a call from the owner of the vehicle who reported his car stolen.
The unidentified man was found nearby with minor injuries and arrested for public mischief, obstructing police, careless driving, driving as a novice with a blood alcohol level above zero and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
