Witness' to hit and run by WMCA
3/1/2019 at 8:14 AM

Looking for any information on a hit and run. Black 2019 Hyundai Elantra was parked in westbound curb lane on Princess Ave across from the WMCA on Feb 21st and someone knocked the drivers side mirror off. Thanks for any help.

Probably not a H&;R

Based on the picture, it looks to me like this is much more likely to be vandalism, rather than a hit and run. A vehicle getting close enough to take out the mirror would likely have caused other damage as well and there appears to be none whatsoever. Also, there don't appear to be any tire tracks close enough to the car to indicate that another vehicle caused the damage.

Vandalism

I agree looks like some nice person walked by and smashed it off to me.

Take a look at the houses in the area maybe someone has a camera on their house who may have captured it.

Tight through there

It can be very close quarters through that section of Princess ave. with all the snow at roadside. It's possible the mirror got clipped by another vehicle or a poorly loaded truck or trailer. Also, the picture does show a tire track pretty close to the vehicles parked along the side of the road.

I was driving by as he was taking the picture. The bus ahead of me was very close to the car. Pretty sure it was clipped by another mirror, Good luck finding out who. Wonder if WMCA has cameras.

I agree with previous comments as to good luck. To me you are 2 feet out from the curb in the picture and that is a narrow street as it is.

I drive down 26th every day and what should be 2 lanes is now 1.5 x swerve due to People parking out in the driving lane.
