Driver flees from police, crashes into cemetery gates

An investigation is ongoing after a vehicle fled from police and later crashed into the gates at a Kincardine cemetery.

On Friday just before 8 a.m., Ontario Provincial Police officers attempted to stop a maroon coloured, four-door Chrysler Sebring, but the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed, heading south on Queen Street towards Bruce Avenue.

Shortly after, police received a report about a collision at the cemetery at Queen Street and Bruce Avenue and found that the same Sebring had crashed into the gates.  However, the driver had fled before police arrived and was nowhere to be found.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the driver is asked to call South Bruce OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
