Truck goes down embankment, driver leaves scene

Driver hits a parked vehicle on DeLair Road in Abbotsford and leaves before police arrive.

Abbotsford Police are investigating a second possible impaired-driving incident from early Sunday morning.

A Toyota Tundra with a boat and trailer was pulled over at the side of DeLair Road in the 34600 block – near Cactus Club Cafe – at about 4 a.m. when it was hit by a 2003 Chevy Silverado travelling west.

The collision sent the Chevy down an embankment.

Police arrived at the scene and searched the area for the driver of the Chevy, expecting to find that he had been ejected from the vehicle.

Officers and a police dog searched the scene, but could not find the person.

A short time later, they discovered that the 20-year-old Abbotsford man had been taken to hospital.

Const. Ian MacDonald said police are still trying to determine how he got to hospital. He said investigators are looking at possible impaired-driving charges against the driver of the Chevy.

Police are recommending impaired-driving charges against the 26-year-old female driver of a Dodge Ram pickup that collided with a Pontiac G5 earlier Sunday morning.
