Driver flees scene after car wedged under semi-truck in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — Police in Nanaimo faced curious circumstances after a driver took off from the scene of a jaw-dropping crash.
A car slammed into and became wedged underneath a tractor trailer as the truck was pulling out of Brooks Landing onto Departure Bay Rd. around 9 p.m. on Monday.
Nanaimo RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW the driver of the car took off. While police tracked down the vehicle’s registered owner shortly after, O’Brien said the man denied being behind the wheel at the time.
“One might think the registered owner should know where his vehicle is but we aren’t able to establish the registered owner being the driver of the car.”
