RCMP are on the hunt for a truck that was reportedly stolen and then involved in a hit-and-run.
A dirty white Dodge Ram with black rocker panels turned left onto Highway 97 in Lake Country at approximately 1:25 p.m. Jan. 16, T-boning a black Kia Optima sedan driving southbound.

It was driven by a Caucasian man, approximately 30 years of age with light brown curly or unkempt hair, a beard, and wearing a red plaid jacket. Another occupant was seen by witnesses, a Caucasian man between 30-35 years old.
The truck has B.C. plate number PA2840 and VIN 3D7TT2CTXAG168544.
