Police are still searching for the driver of a stolen vehicle who fled the scene of a fiery traffic accident in Townsville on Sunday.
Providing an update on Monday, a Queensland Police spokeswoman said officers were investigating an incident involving a stolen blue 2018 Subaru XV, which collided with several unoccupied parked cars on Fulham Road, Gulliver around 2.45pm.
“After the collision the occupant of the Subaru fled the scene on foot,” she said.
“A small fire ignited under the bonnet which was extinguished.
“No members of the public were injured in the incident.”
A witness said it appeared the vehicle had hit the side of one of the vehicles, causing considerable damage.
The force of the impact had shunted the vehicles together.
The Subaru was stolen from Grosvenor Street at Pimlico between 11pm on May 23 and 3am May 24.
No one has been charged, and the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has dashcam in the area around the time of the crash was urged to contact police.
