A 12 year old girl faces a number of charges after going for a joy ride in the remote community of Pikangikum. The OPP say they were notified about a pick up truck driving in an erratic manner around 5:00 in the morning. Officers tried to pull the vehicle over, but the driver refused to stop. Because the driver appeared to be quite young, the OPP gave up the chase. A short time later, the vehicle ran into a hydro pole, knocking out power to the entire community. Police say there were 14 passengers in the truck at the time, including three ten year olds, four 12 year olds, three 13 year olds and three 14 year old youths.
