A 37-year-old Moncton man is facing six charges after failing to remain at the scene of a four-vehicle collision.
Codiac RCMP were called to the crash at Vaughan Harvey and Mountain Road shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Police believe the collision occurred when a vehicle heading west on Mountain Road failed to stop and collided with a stopped vehicle.
Two other vehicles were also damaged and one man was hospitalized with injuries and later released.
One driver left the scene but police found him a few blocks away.
During a search of the vehicle, officers uncovered several types of drugs, bear spray and cash.
Jamie Noel was arrested and appeared in Moncton court on Wednesday charged with the following:
- possession of hydromorphone for the purpose of trafficking
- possession of crystal methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking
- possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking
- possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking
- reckless driving and failure to remain at the scene of an accident
- possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public
He is being held in custody until his next court appearance on Friday afternoon.
