Driver loses wheel, keeps on going
Prince George B.C. – An odd scenario had RCMP knocking on doors in the northern reach of the City of Prince George this morning.
It starts around 7:23 am when police got a call from a chip truck driver reporting his rig has been side swiped on Highway 97, and the offending vehicle ( a truck) had kept on going south bound on Highway 97.
A few minutes later, police received a call about a truck that was travelling southbound on the highway and there were sparks flying from it, because one wheel was missing.
Police headed to the area, and discovered a truck, in the ditch near Highway 97 and Chestnut Drive . The truck was missing one wheel, and its driver.
The area was cordoned off and police went door to door to locate the person who had been behind the wheel of the crashed truck.
They located their suspect, and he has been slapped with a 24 hour license suspension, and cited for two violations under the Motor Vehicle Act, specifically, driving without due care and consideration, and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

Shoulda thrown his arse in jail for endangering the public and being a retard for driving like that
Probably couldn’t run a breathalyzer on them either if they were already at home. More than likely fled the scene because they were impaired. On another note, how come no mention of the fender bender on Ospika yesterday morning. When I went past one of the crosswalks there was a little car with it’s front all smashed in being hooked up to a tow truck and what looked like a cop car parked with it’s lights on and it’s front end was all dinged up as well.
Name of company he works for might keep him off road
