Saanich police arrested a driver Wednesday afternoon behind the wheel of a heavily damaged vehicle.

A tweet from the Saanich police’s traffic safety unit shows the black vehicle they say fled a hit and run in Victoria, even though police found the vehicle with the front driver-side tire bent practically sideways.

Saanich police say they found the driver thanks to calls from the public.

A 90-day prohibition was served and criminal charges are pending.
