The video of a poor parking job has helped Vancouver police solve a hit-and-run accident on city’s West Side.
The white Porsche SUV, seen in the video, hit a parked, unoccupied car on June 16 on West 32 Street, between Oak and Granville. The driver of the Porsche fled the scene.
A few days later, someone sent the VPD a YouTube video called ‘How to park your Porsche In Vancouver.’
Cst. Brian Montague with the Vancouver Police (VPD) says the mother of the 16-year-old was out of the country, and the teen – who does not have a driver's license -- was driving her car.
Although the accident was fairly minor – the SUV allegedly hit a parked car – the teen did some pretty good damage to his mom's vehicle, Montague said.
If the young man would have stayed at the scene he would have likely only gotten a $267 ticket for driving without a license, and it "wouldn't have been a big deal," Montague said.
But because he left the scene he is now is facing multiple charges under the Motor Vehicle Act including hit and run, according the VPD.
