SUV damaged near Olds
On August 1, 2014 at approximately 0830 hrs Innisfail Integrated Traffic Unit was dispatched to a damaged SUV on the west shoulder of the QEII Hwy, just north of the Olds overpass.
Upon arrival the damaged SUV was located. There were no occupants and the key remained in the ignition. A large puddle of fluid was observed soaked into the ground nearby + a radiator cap was laying there too. It appears the SUV suffered a mechanical failure and was abandoned roadside with no warning triangles or 4 way hazards activated. From the significant damage noted on the driver's side it appears the SUV was sideswiped by an oversized load.
