Hamilton man charged in series of Halloween night crashes

Three months after police responded to a series of collisions in downtown Hamilton, police have laid numerous charges against a 25-year-old man.

Police received multiple 911 calls on Halloween night about an off-road Yamaha dirt bike driving dangerously before it collided with a vehicle near Gage Avenue and Dunsmure Road.

Police say after the collision, the dirt bike rider picked up his bike and fled the scene, leaving his helmet and shoe behind.
