Driver struck pole, reversed, went for coffee
The Guelph Police Service is trying to identify a driver who struck a light post Tuesday evening, then left the scene and went through a nearby drive-through.
Just after 9 p.m., a witness reported a white sedan had struck a light post at Silvercreek Parkway North and Willow Road. The driver reversed and then continued northbound and pulled into a Tim Hortons drive-through near Speedvale Avenue West.
Officers followed a trail of coolant on the road until it dried up.
The involved vehicle was believed to be a Kia Optima four-door sedan which was white with a black roof. It sustained heavy front-end damage.
Anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has more information is asked to call Constable Tim Paneghel of the Guelph Police Service Traffic Unit at 519-824-1212, ext. 7529, or email [email protected].
