A driver was sent to hospital after flipping his vehicle at a busy intersection in North Vancouver Tuesday evening.

Just before 10 p.m. on Aug. 27, the driver of an orange Ford Mustang was heading eastbound on Marine Drive when he lost control and hit a curb near Fell Avenue, causing his car to roll over, said Const. Mansoor Sahak, spokesperson for North Vancouver RCMP.

The vehicle eventually came to rest on its roof near the sidewalk in front of Cora Breakfast restaurant at 801 Marine Dr. The front bumper was completely ripped off the car, resting on the ground a few metres away.

The driver, a male in his 20s who lives in North Vancouver, was taken to hospital with minor injuries, Sahak said.

Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, but police haven’t yet determined if speed contributed to the incident, he said.

Police spoke to witnesses on the scene, and an investigation is ongoing, Sahak said.
