There were some tense moments last night in a busy residential area of St. John’s.

Police, with guns drawn, searched an east end neighbourhood around suppertime Monday following a car crash on the Outer Ring Road. One person sustained serious injuries in the collision. Multiple sources tell NTV News one of the driver’s apparently fled the scene. RNC, including K-9, searched the area. A person involved in the crash was taken into custody by police late Monday.

The ORR was closed for a short period of time.
