Two arrested following stolen car crash in Clearview
Vehicle had been used in armed robbery a day prior
Two people have been charged following a crash involving a stolen vehicle, and a third
First responders including the Clearview Fire Service and OPP were called out to County Road 9 near 6/7 Sideroad, west of Creemore at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday with reports of a single-vehicle crash. Three occupants of the vehicle fled on foot into a wooded area nearby, causing police to set up a perimeter.
A great reminder of the hidden dangers that await responders. As crews came upon a single vehicle mvc, things quickly escalated, a stolen vehicle with persons involved in a violent crime involving firearms. Fortunately all were safe, thanks to OPP for being great partners

Turns out, the vehicle involved in the collision was stolen and was involved in an armed robbery the evening prior.
A 31-year-old Collingwood man and a 34-year-old man from Brampton face charges including possession of stolen property, and cocaine possession. Both are expected in Collingwood court in mid-December.
