RCMP say the driver’s behaviour was erratic when he spoke with a witness.

“The witness spoke with the driver who claimed he was fine but then ran away from the scene,” says Cpl. Joe Duncan.  “The driver returned to the scene a short time later and yelled at the witness and ran off again towards the Okanagan college.”

A police dog was called to the scene to help track down the driver but couldn’t find him.
