A 46-year-old Fort Erie man won't be driving for a while.

The NRP responded to a crash in Port Colborne early this morning, in the Main Street West and Elm Street area.

Police say a pickup truck hit a store sign, a mail box and a building on Neff Street.

Officers spotted two people running away from the scene.

They were able to track down the 46-year-old man shortly afterwards.

He has been charged with failing to stop, impaired driving and failure/refusal to comply with demand.

He also faces a 90-day licence suspension.
