Taxi mistakenly goes up ramp and flips over in downtown Vancouver

A taxi driver in downtown Vancouver drove up a ramp and flipped his car over Tuesday morning in an unfortunate mishap, according to Vancouver police.

The ramp was attached to the back of a semi truck on Hornby Street, parked outside the law courts, and passersby snapped photos of the flipped-over taxi and posted them online.

Luckily, police said the driver wasn’t seriously hurt in the incident.

“It appears the cab driver did not see the ramp and accidentally flipped the car on its side,” Sgt. Steve Addison with the Vancouver Police Department told Daily Hive.
