Police are on the lookout for the driver of a car that smashed into a divider on Highway 99 in Richmond in the early hours of Monday.
Richmond RCMP say that, shortly after 2 a.m., police were called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 99 northbound at the onramp to Highway 91, close to the Westminster Highway overpass.
At the scene, officers found a white Volkswagen Jetta with extensive front end damage.
Police say it appeared the vehicle had collided with the divider cushion of the onramp barrier.
However, the driver of the damaged vehicle did not remain on scene, and police are still trying to track down the registered owner, who lives in Vancouver.
“The extensive front-end damage to the vehicle leaves investigators concerned for the well-being of the driver and anyone else who may have been inside the vehicle at the time of the collision,” Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Ian Henderson told the Richmond News.
“We are encouraging the driver and anyone who may have witnessed the collision to please come forward to police.”
The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
