Mian guilty of
leaving accident

A VANCOUVER man was found guilty in West Vancouver pro-

at the scene of an accident.

The convictions stem from a Feb. 17 car accident at the north
side of Lions Gate Bridge. West Vancouver Police were called to
the scene at 9:42 p.m. When they arrived they found a 1988 Toyota
pickup truck sitting on its roof and a 1970 Ford sitting nearby and
facing south in the northbound lane.

when the suspect's southbound vehicle lost contro! and struck the
truck. While the accident resulted in no major injuries, the crash
caused approximately $11,000 damage io the vehicles.

Police attempted to locate the driver of the Ford, but found he
had fled the scene before they arrived. The vehicle was impounded
and the driver was identified and charged when he came to retrieve
his car five days later.

Dovglas Kenneth Schmidt, 28, was fined $500 for impaired driv-
ing and $500 for failing to remain at the scene.
