BURNABY, B.C. — RCMP say a woman has been arrested after a flagger at a construction zone was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in Burnaby, B.C., that was all caught on video.
Video posted on the Internet showed the flag woman directing traffic on Wednesday when she tried to stop a vehicle, but the driver kept going, running into the flagger.
Police say a second flagger further down the road was also hit, resulting in minor injuries.
Not long after, police say they received a complaint about a woman assaulting two children on a street near the crash scene.
Police allege the woman was the same suspect from the hit-and-run and say they are considering criminal or Motor Vehicle Act charges.
There is no indication alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash. They say the woman may have been suffering from severe emotional issues at the time of the incidents.
No charges have been laid yet.
They say the flagger remains in hospital with a head injury and bruising.
