Lucky hit-and-run driver

Chase RCMP are looking for a driver who was lucky to get away unscathed from a crash.

On July 24, at 8 p.m., police received a report of a hit and run collision.

Cpl. Scott Linklater said a small red pickup towing a white enclosed trailer entered the westbound Trans-Canada Highway from Shuswap Avenue. The pickup failed to yield to a westbound tractor-trailer.

“The driver of the semi-trailer unit attempted to brake and pulled to the left to avoid a collision. The semi unit hit the concrete median with the driver’s side wheels. The red pickup struck the passenger side of the semi unit. The pickup then fled without stopping,” said Linklater.

Anyone with any information regarding this investigation, or any other crime, is asked to contact the Chase detachment at 250-679-3221 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
