Mayhem on Wellington
At approximately 3.00 PM on December 3 the intersection at Wellington and Hamilton was the scene of a multi-vehicle collision as a grey 4-door sedan careened through both lanes of traffic, striking two vehicles and causing a delivery truck to inflict further damage as it came to an emergency halt in the middle of the roadway. No serious injuries were reported.
The driver of the grey sedan then sped away from the scene, shedding pieces of his damaged vehicle and gas from a ruptured fuel tank as he raced down the back streets of Hintonburg. The recovered pieces included a front bumper with the license plate still attached.
The_Oracle was alerted to the scene by a bystander and was able to obtain pictures of the collision site. As well, by following the gas slick sprayed along the 1.5 kilometer route taken by the hit-and-run driver, our photographer was able to locate the site where the vehicle was recovered by the Ottawa police, behind a Wellington Street apartment building near Scott.
Nearby residents claimed the driver of the vehicle ran into the building and that the police sent a sniffer dog team through the building to try to locate his whereabouts, but as of posting we had received no further information.
Unconmfirmed rumours at the recovery site were that the grey sedan was a stolen vehicle.
