A man is facing charges after he allegedly drove his car dangerously through a high school field and a nearby walking trail in Oshawa, Ont.

Durham Regional Police say officers responded on Friday to reports of a vehicle driving dangerously through the parking lot and toward students on the sports field of G.L. Roberts Collegiate Vocational Institute.

Police allege the driver, who is the parent of a student at the school, drove through the property after learning their child had been involved in an altercation with other students.
