Video captures Cape Coral hit-and-run that left camper van undrivable<\/p>\n

\"Nehilah<\/a>CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A hit-and-run early Monday morning on Southeast Tenth Place in Cape Coral left a camper van and the curb damaged, with the chaotic scene caught on camera by the van’s owner. <\/p>\n

The crash left deep tire marks and a smashed curb, leading to the camper van parked on Southeast Tenth Place. The driver reportedly attempted to leave the scene after the crash, off Cape Coral Parkway. <\/p>\n

Charles Peterson, owner of Evergreen Tattoos, was working late when he heard the commotion. <\/p>\n

“Me and my client heard a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, like a car accident outside,” Peterson said. <\/p>\n

When he and his client went outside, they saw a truck stuck in a ditch. <\/p>\n

“We both got up and looked, and we saw a truck stuck in a ditch,” Peterson said. <\/p>\n

The crash, which happened at 2 a.m., involved a truck stuck by the sidewalk. Video footage shows someone trying to push the truck out before the driver reversed into the camper van. <\/p>\n

“That’s why I started filming. Because I thought it was so funny. I’m like, you’re not going to push that truck,” Peterson said. <\/p>\n

This is not the first time Peterson has dealt with vehicle-related issues. Last year, someone stole his truck and crashed it in front of a home. <\/p>\n

“That’s why I’m driving my van, and the guy just hit my van last night, and now my van is not drivable. I rode my bike to this interview. Yeah, I had really bad luck, I guess,” Peterson said. <\/p>\n

The camper van’s doors no longer open, and it is undrivable according to Peterson. Cape Coral police confirmed they responded to the hit-and-run at the location. Gulf Coast News is working to confirm more information. <\/p>\n
