Lethbridge police are offering a $2,000 reward for information on the driver of a truck who damaged a Pride crosswalk.

Police say on Aug. 25, shortly before 1 a.m., an officer patrolling downtown saw a truck do a burn-out over the Pride crosswalk, causing damage to the paint.

When they tried to pull the truck over, police say it fled at a high speed. The truck was last seen headed west on Highway 3 out of the city.

Police found surveillance video of the truck, but the footage was too low quality to capture still images.

The truck is described as a 2012-2014 grey Ford F-150 with black pin-striping across the body and a loud aftermarket exhaust.
