Police say an Innisfil man charged for driving without insurance was later involved in a collision.

South Simcoe police say an officer pulled the 23-year-old man’s vehicle over on Reagans Industrial Parkway in Bradford West Gwillimbury and charged him with driving without insurance.

Less than 24 hours later, police report the same individual was involved in a crash that caused significant damage to his vehicle. No injuries were reported.

The young driver now faces two counts of driving without insurance, plus several other driving-related offences.

In a separate incident that happened just hours later, police say another traffic stop revealed a second driver without a licence or insurance.

This driver was reportedly also a repeat offender, having been charged last month by officers in Barrie for driving without the proper documents.

In this case, police say the vehicle was removed from the road and the 25-year-old man from Bradford was charged with multiple offences.

Driving without insurance carries a minimum fine of $5,000 in Ontario.
