RNC Investigating Multiple Hit-and-Runs in Torbay

The RNC is investigating two separate hit-and-run incidents in Torbay involving two different vehicles.

Police say the incidents happened within about half an hour of each other Thursday night.

The first two collisions were reported shortly after 8 p.m. along Torbay Road, at Manning’s Hill Road and Bauline Line.

In both cases, witnesses reported a black Dodge Ram fleeing the scene.

Officers later found the heavily damaged truck abandoned near Martin’s Lane.

Police Dog Services and a drone operator were brought in to help search for the driver.

Around 8:30 p.m., police received two more reports of hit-and-runs involving a black Honda Civic in the Evening’s Path area.

In that incident, a driver whose vehicle had been struck followed the suspect vehicle.

An altercation reportedly took place when the vehicles reached a dead end, before the male suspect fled on foot.

Five vehicles were towed from the area, while two were seized as part of the investigation.

One person was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No arrests have been made.

The RNC says there is no indication at this stage that the two incidents are connected.

Police are asking anyone with information, or video footage from the area between 8 and 9 p.m. Thursday, to contact the RNC.
