A Yellowknife man appears in court on Tuesday charged with dangerous driving, possession of property obtained by crime and failing to comply with court conditions after a vehicle crashed into a parked van and a fire hydrant. The collisions occurred on Dagenais Drive uptown.
“Yellowknife RCMP received multiple calls on a vehicle driving erratically in the area of Range Lake Road and Finlayson Drive,” a news release from the Mounties stated. “A red Ford Explorer SUV later collided with a parked van and fire hydrant on Dagenais Drive.”
RCMP located a person identified as the driver in a home nearby. Police have identified him as Dean Ruben, 27, of Yellowknife.
No injuries were reported in the driving mayhem.
According to Miranda Booth, who lives on Dagenais Dr., the SUV actually hit two of her vehicles – an Astro van and a Hyundai.
