A self-proclaimed psychic on the run for more than 20 years after a fatal Florida car crash apparently never saw his capture coming — and now thinks hiding out in the Great White North was a big mistake.

Patrick Lutts Jr. went on the run in 2003, after skipping out on a court date related to a Christmas morning drunken-driving crash in Orlando in 1998 that left two teens dead, according to the CBC.

Lutts, 51, snuck into Canada and settled in Toronto in 2004, where he never opened a bank account and made a living hosting monthly horror-themed trivia nights, the outlet reported.

Lutts was working for a New Zealand-based psychic reading app called LifeReader under the name “Pat Lighthelp.”

“I thought that authorities would be able to find me as I stayed in the same place in Toronto for over 20 years,” wrote Lutts in a March 25 affidavit uncovered by the CBC. “That day just never came until now, but I am tired of running.”

Lutts, who has been profiled on the TV show “America’s Most Wanted,” was busted by Toronto Police in February and sought bail prior to his extradition to the United States.

An anonymous tip led the department’s fugitive squad to Lutts. An online cyber sleuth is also said to have used facial recognition software to pinpoint Lutts’ location.

Lutts remains in Canada awaiting extradition.

Lutts is accused of crashing his car into a vehicle driven by Nancy Lopez, 19, and her boyfriend, Darvin Javier DeJesus-Taboada, 18, neither of whom survived.

He faces a pair of DUI manslaughter counts, and if convicted, could end up spending the next 30 years behind bars.
