Police seek vehicle to check wellbeing
The Guelph Police Service is seeking information about a vehicle after a female fell or was pushed from it Monday evening.
Approximately 8 p.m., a resident in the area of London Road West and Exhibition Street heard a bang and looked outside to see a stopped pickup and a female lying on the road just behind it. The witness called police, but before officers could arrive the female got into the pickup which left the scene.
It is unclear if the female fell from the truck or was pushed. She appeared to have sustained an arm injury.
Police would like to speak to the occupants of the truck to confirm their wellbeing. The truck was described as an older white Ford pickup with a plow attachment on the front. The female was described as being in her 20s with an average build and blonde hair and wearing a silver jacket. The male driver was in his 20s and wearing a red plaid jacket.
