A reckless driver in Nanaimo, British Columbia caused chaos and destruction when they crashed into a house while performing donuts, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The incident occurred on the evening of January 9, 2021, when the driver lost control of their vehicle and plowed into a residence on the 400 block of Bruce Avenue. The impact caused significant damage to the home, leaving a large hole in the wall and shattering windows.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the crash. However, the driver fled the scene before authorities arrived. The RCMP is currently investigating the incident and is asking for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
This is not the first time a driver has caused destruction while performing donuts. In fact, it is a common and dangerous trend among some drivers. Donuts, also known as “burnouts,” involve spinning a vehicle in circles while producing smoke from the tires.
Not only is this behavior illegal, but it also puts the driver and others at risk. The RCMP is reminding the public that reckless driving can have serious consequences and is urging drivers to obey traffic laws and drive responsibly.
The residents of the damaged home are now left to deal with the aftermath of the crash. The RCMP is working with the homeowners to assess the extent of the damage and ensure their safety.
In the meantime, the RCMP is continuing their investigation and is determined to hold the driver accountable for their actions. They are also reminding the public to report any suspicious or dangerous driving behavior to the authorities.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the potential consequences of reckless behavior. Let us all work together to keep our roads safe and prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.
