Rollover on Cornwall Road
On March 3 at approximately 4 p.m., a witness called in a report of a single vehicle rollover. The vehicle was on Cornwall Road heading toward Highway 1 from Ashcroft, and after rolling came to a rest on the roadway on its four wheels. The vehicle was described as a black Ford pick-up and did not remain at the scene.
Police located the crash scene and noted a large aluminum lock box that would have been in the box of a pick-up truck. This item was seized for safekeeping, and police are interested in locating the vehicle owner to return the item, and speak to the driver to ensure there were no injuries. Any other witnesses are encouraged to contact police to assist in locating the vehicle and driver.
