On April 19, 2015, at approximately 6:30pm, The Pas RCMP were dispatched to a two-vehicle motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Fischer Avenue and 7th Street in The Pas, Manitoba.
Investigation revealed that a pickup truck was traveling south on Fischer Avenue, rounded the corner and approached the intersection near a local business, Ken’s Shell. As the pickup rounded the corner, it lost control and struck two traffic control signs, before striking a car occupied by two persons. The two occupants were treated on scene and released with minor injuries.
Police say that the pickup then fled the collision scene eastbound on 7th Street, after striking an utility pole. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage and was abandoned by the driver two blocks east of the collision location. The driver had fled the scene.
RCMP report that alcohol is suspected to have been a factor in the collision and that the investigation is ongoing.
