Liberal MPP to face charges in hit and run

Liberal MPP Kuldop Jular will be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Kular struck a 39-year-old man in Brampton on Friday evening, sending the pedestrian to hospital with minor injuries. Witnesses told investigators they saw the driver get out of his car and speak to the victim before taking off. A source close to Kular said it was raining at the time and the MPP believes the man slipped and fell and that he did not hit the man. The source also says that Kular got out of his car and to help the man up and offered to call an ambulance; the man said he was fine and went off on his way. The substance of the charge is that he didn’t provide the information he is legally required to in such an event. Failing to remain at the scene isn’t a criminal offence therefore Kular will be issued a traffic ticket with a court date and if found guilty, he will face a fine.
