The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is looking into a crash in which the driver ran from the scene and two young women were left injured.
OPP officers, Lanark County Paramedics and Mississippi Mills Firefighters responded to the incident on County Road 29, near Snedden Farm Road north of Almonte, shortly after 10 p.m. on August 11.
A car was found in a farm field after it had flipped off the road, coming to rest back on its wheels.
Police say the person driving the vehicle had fled on foot. A search of the area by officers and the OPP Canine Unit found no trace of the driver.
Two passengers, women ages 18 and 23, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Hydro One crews were also called to the scene to replace a pole that had been damaged in the collision, knocking out power in the area for a short time.
The investigation is continuing and charges are pending.
