The entrance to Stuart Drive off of Fifth Avenue, near the Fortis BC building, was temporarily blocked off on Thursday afternoon after some sort of motor vehicle incident.
When a Citizen reporter arrived on scene around 4:15 p.m., a red Ford pickup truck had been loaded onto a flat-bed. Damage to the rear of the truck could be seen and shards of glass and plastic were scattered on the road.
A short tree on a property near the intersection had been toppled, with marks from an impact visible on the lower trunk.
Behind the flat-bed, a police cruiser blocked access to the scene from further down Stuart Drive.
Another Citizen reporter saw what appeared to be a police helicopter circling in the air above the neighbourhood, near École Lac des Bois. It's not known if its presence was related to the other incident.
A photo submitted by a witness showed the red truck on top of the fallen tree, with the back-right tire bent inwards and the tailgate partially peeled off from the body.
The Citizen has reached out to the RCMP for more information.
