Dashcam footage shows what appears to be a large rock hitting a black Mazda and then hitting a white Honda in a nearby lane on a busy Vancouver street early Monday (May 30) morning.
Tara T. was driving southeast down Marine Drive just before 8 a.m. when she saw a black Mazda in front of her swerve and hit a big rock; the rock also hit a white Honda.
"I also saw a couple [of] pieces of debris which I believe may have come off his car," she told Vancouver Is Awesome.
While the black Mazda slowed down and stopped after the incident, Tara was rushing to work and couldn't pull over to speak to the driver. She later shared the video on social media in the hopes the driver might see it.
"I reported it online to ICBC and I called the VPD non-emergency line but the woman told me if I didn’t witness a person throwing the rock, they would not start a file for that," she added.
Vancouver Police Department Cnst. Tania Visintin confirmed with V.I.A. that it isn't a police issue but rather an ICBC claim.
ICBC spokesperson Brent Shearer told V.I.A. that damage from falling or flying objects such as a rock or gravel hitting part of a vehicle would be covered under ICBC’s optional comprehensive insurance coverage.
More information on ICBC optional coverages is available on with ICBC online.
