Tire marks show where vehicle jumped curb
The truck
Jon Burnside
Councillor Jon Burnside and his campaign worker Michelle Stewart narrowly escaped injury or death this week while canvassing at Laird Drive and Broadway Ave. A black Chevrolet pickup truck jumped the curb and nearly hit them. The driver, it is reported, appears to have been impaired but police were not able to respond before he left the scene. There are pictures of the vehicle and its plate. The Councillor is quoted as saying: “It sure was close.Too close. The guy didn’t have much to say. From my experience, I noticed he seemed under the influence of alcohol and perhaps narcotics as well.”
