Vancouver driver completely wrecks convertible before fleeing crash on foot

It was a chaotic night for one Vancouver driver who crashed a BMW convertible before getting out and fleeing the scene on foot.

The crash happened early Sunday morning, when the driver appeared to be cruising with the top down on a February night.

The Vancouver Police Department tweeted that the impaired driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a pole before crashing into a retaining wall.

“The driver fled on foot, but several witnesses called 911, and [officers] located the driver a short distance away,” the force tweeted.

Thank you to those witnesses who called 911 and excellent work done by our patrol members on this file. ***Pictures of this vehicle were taken after it was removed from the accident scene.***
