Abbotsford Police said its investigators were in contact with the driver involved in the collision after the Abbotsford man contacted the police this afternoon, taking responsibility for the collision and damage. “The driver is not in custody; but co-operating with investigators. This collision is still under investigation,” police said.

ABBOTSFORD Police on Wednesday released CCTV footage of a hit and run at the “Nine. Downtown Kitchen & Lounge” restaurant patio that was struck this past weekend. The incident took place at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 19 at 2625 Montrose Avenue.
The damage was discovered early Sunday morning by one of the owners when they came in to work.
CCTV footage from neighbouring businesses shows a vehicle skidding down Montrose Avenue, driving onto the curb and smashing into the patio.

Police noted that businesses that have been able to remain open continue to struggle under COVID-19 restrictions, and incidents such as this add just one more challenge to these already trying times.

The suspect vehicle is a dark sport-style car with front-end damage.
