Driver arrested after SUV runs over flagger in video - British Columbia - CBC News
SUV runs over flagger in video
A disturbing video has led to the arrest of a driver suspected of hitting two construction flaggers in Metro Vancouver on Wednesday morning, RCMP have confirmed.
The first flagger was directing traffic on 10th Avenue near Kingsway in Burnaby when she was hit by the white SUV at 11:30 a.m., according to RCMP Staff Sgt. Ken Moe.
Video of the incident taken by a bystander shows the SUV trying to edge into traffic from a section of road that appears to be closed to vehicles.
The man filming the video warns the flagger, "He's going to run you over," just a few seconds before the SUV apparently strikes the flagger, knocking her down and running over her with the front left wheel.
After fleeing the scene the same driver then hit a second flagger a little further down the road, RCMP believe.
