A 19-year-old man from Caledon is facing numerous charges after he was involved in a collision with a stationary vehicle while riding a motorcycle in the eastern region on Sunday night.

Police were summoned to the intersection of Couling Crescent and Watson Parkway North around 10 p.m. A witness had reported the incident and suspected the motorcyclist was under the influence of alcohol.

Upon interacting with the motorcyclist, officers detected a scent of alcohol and noticed other impairment indicators, according to a police statement. 

The investigation purportedly revealed the man was not authorized to operate a vehicle and he was subsequently arrested. He was transported to the hospital following complaints of minor injuries sustained during the accident.
