Artillery gun collides with taxi after breaking loose on Nanaimo street
A runaway
artillery gun slowed traffic Saturday in Nanaimo after coming unhitched
from its transport vehicle and crashing into a taxi.
According
to witnesses, around 2 p.m. the large military weapon came loose from
a Canadian military vehicle leaving Maffeo Sutton Park and
began rolling downhill in the Comox Road and Terminal Avenue area,
chased by two members of the Canadian Forces, who were unable to keep up
with it.
The artillery gun was slowed when it scraped against the
side of a taxi and shattered one of its rear windows, then came to a
complete stop against the front bumper of a red Volkswagen Beetle.
No one was injured, said Nanaimo RCMP, who are on scene, along with Canadian Forces personnel, investigating how the towed gun managed to get loose.
