A Vancouver couple captured an incident on video of extreme reckless driving on Tuesday, June 25 at the intersection at Main and Hastings Street in Vancouver.
In the video a silver car can be seen doing multiple donuts in the middle of the intersection. People appear to attempt to use the crosswalks or yell at the vehicle and then back off onto the sidewalk. Afterwards, the car continues down the street and proceeds to make more donuts further down.
Jonathan Dillon and Chantelle Adams were at home when they heard a great deal of commotion and noise outside of their window at around 9:55 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
Vancouver Is Awesome spoke to Jonathan Dillon, Vancouver resident, about what took place after they first heard the noise outside of their apartment.
“Last night around 9:55 pm we heard tires screeching and people making a lot of noise. We looked out the window and saw a silver car doing donuts in the middle of main and hastings,” he described.
Following this, Dillon reports that his girlfriend called the incident into the Vancouver Police Department. It was one of several 911 calls reporting a grey Toyota Camry driving toward pedestrians at a bus stop near West Georgia and Granville streets
Vancouver police later caught up with the driver on Main Street and arrested a Surrey man.
The lone occupant and driver of the Camry, Harpreet Gill, a 37-year-old Surrey man, has been charged with dangerous driving. Police anticipate additional charges related to impaired driving.
Gill remains in custody.
