Clinton News Record, 2016-06-08, Page 13OPP UPDATES Reckless drive-by leads to charges for two students Two local high school stu- dents are facing some seri- ous driving related charges following an incident that probably started out as a joke for the pair. On Wednesday, June 1, 2016 a group of about 400 stu- dents and staff members from Central Huron Sec- ondary School participated in a walk-a-thon fundraiser walking from C.H.S.S. to Varna. At approximately 11:00 a.m., a side- by -side go-cart style UTV and a 4 -wheel ATV raced down Bannock- burn Line toward the large group of walkers driving in a reckless manner. The driv- ers of the off-road machines whizzed by dangerously close to the walkers and police cruiser that was lead- ing the escort. The officer attempted a traffic stop however the young driv- ers failed to stop and fled into the bush. Less than a half- hour later, the two danger- ous drivers returned and were once again observed driving in an erratic manner nearly hitting some of the stu- dents. In addition, they were observed doing donuts and spraying gravel in all direc- tions nearly striking the walk- ers and the police cruiser. For a second time they sped away from the police officer, however this time they were identified by some of the wit- nesses. The drivers later turned them- selves into police whereupon they were both spoken to and charged. Two fifteen -year-old boys from Bluewater have been charged with the following offences: • Dangerous Driving • Drive Motor Vehicle No Licence • Fail to Stop for Police • Drive Off -Road Vehicle No Number Plate They will both have to attend the Youth Justice Court in Goderich later this summer.
