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.
