Coquitlam Mounties are looking for a driver who fled the scene after a vehicle flipped over the centre median on Clarke Road and caught fire early Saturday morning.
The incident happened shortly after 4 a.m. on Nov. 12 after a Chevrolet Cavalier travelling north on North Road failed to negotiate the corner in the 500-block of Clarke Road.
Fire and emergency crews were called to the accident location but the vehicle's occupants had already left the area by the time police arrived. The blaze was quickly extinguished by firefighters and traffic was temporarily diverted.
RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police do not believe anyone was hurt in the crash.
"Apparently, they ran away so I guess they were healthy enough to do that," said Chung. "Usually in a case like this, we would pay a visit to the registered owner and ask who was driving the vehicle at the time."
Witnesses are encouraged to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2011-31853.
