Port Alberni RCMP are searching for the driver of a white 1988 Mercury Topaz involved in an overnight collision in the alley off Burke Road near Elizabeth Street.
Police say the vehicle had been travelling northbound in the alley when it collided with a wooden fence.
The force of the impact caused two large panels of the fence to fall down while the car lost its front bumper, damaged the grill and started leaking engine fluids.
The fluids left a trail down the alley to Arrowsmith Rd where investigators were no longer able to follow them.
“If you witnessed the crash, know the whereabouts of the Mercury Topaz or know who the driver was, please call the Port Alberni RCMP at 250-723-2424 or Crime Stoppers,” said Cpl. Amelia Hayden Port Alberni RCMP.
