On Thursday, he was charged under the Criminal Code with Failing to Remain at the Scene of an Accident Causing Bodily harm and Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Bodily Harm.

Goulding has also been charged with six additional offences for charges under the Highway Traffic Act, An Act Respecting Off-Road Vehicles, and the Off-Road Vehicles Regulations.

He is expected to appear in St. John’s Provincial Court on December 12.
