Mounties are investigating after a car fled the scene of a crash at Royal Oak and Marine Drive last Thursday evening.
The collision happened around 5:15 p.m. on Dec. 3, when a van travelling west on Marine Drive hit another vehicle travelling southbound on Royal Oak.
“The driver was trapped in the vehicle for a bit. (There was) concern for a head injury, but we found out that his injuries were actually minor once he was treated,” said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis.
The driver of the van did not remain at the scene, and police believe he or she fled immediately following the collision. The intersection was closed for about two hours while investigators collected evidence from the scene.
Buis said investigators believe the driver of the suspect vehicle, described as a white van, drove through the stop sign at Marine Drive and Royal Oak prior to hitting the other car.
The Burnaby RCMP would like to speak with the driver of the van, and police are asking anyone with information on the crash to contact investigators at 604-294-7922.
