An intersection at the University of Manitoba re-opened Friday afternoon after a bizarre-looking early morning crash.
A GMC pickup truck was rammed into a set of outdoor stairs at the intersection of Chancellor Matheson Road and University Crescent.
Police said the crash happened around 3:00 a.m. Friday.
Officers met with a security guard from the University of Manitoba who told police that three men were spotted running from the scene after the crash. Police have identified the suspects involved but have not made any arrests. Police say it’s unclear if alcohol was a factor in the crash. No charges are pending.
No other vehicles were involved.
The crash was apparently so violent it destroyed the front end of the pickup and damaged the concrete stairs. The vehicle had managed to knock over a traffic barrier before hitting the steps. Damage to the windshield was visible, as though it had been struck by a driver or passenger from the inside but police say the injuries were minor.
The central traffic unit has taken over the investigation.
