The man was transported to hospital for minor injuries obtained in the collision.

Nathan Oram, 25, of Ottawa, has been charged with:

·        Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle

Charges have not been proven in court.

Police say the accused was released from custody and will appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on November 16, 2026
