Vernon RCMP looking for culprits after stolen car involved in crash

Suspects flee crash scene

Vernon RCMP are investigating after a stolen vehicle was involved in a collision and the occupants fled.

Const. Chris Terleski says on Feb. 1, shortly after 9:30 a.m., police received a report of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of 43rd Street and 25th Avenue in Vernon.

“A brown 2002 Honda Civic, later confirmed to be stolen, was travelling westbound on 25th Avenue when it lost control and collided with an oncoming grey Mazda 3,” Terleski says.

The occupants of the Mazda, as well as another vehicle that was struck by debris from the collision, were assessed and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The occupants of the stolen Honda fled the scene prior to the arrival of emergency responders and were not located.

Police are continuing to investigate.
