A Petrolia man is facing numerous charges after a single vehicle accident last week.
According to State Police, 54-year-old David Mariotti was driving on Buena Vista Road in Fairview Township shortly after noon on Friday (2/26) when his truck left the road for an unknown reason.
Mariotti hit a tree then crossed both lanes and hit an embankment. Police believe that Mariotti then attempted to drive away but ended up driving through a metal fence into a field. Mariotti then allegedly abandoned his vehicle and fled the scene.
It is unknown if Mariotti was injured but he was charged with numerous traffic violations.
