Judging by all the snow on the truck most likely it is parked outside overnight, should be easy to drive around over the next few days to find it.

Everyone with a pickup is white trash now? Lol
Not even a relevant comment. That comment is more "white trashy" than the accident.

What is white trash is the loser leaving. Just cause they drive a truck doesn't quantify them as a loser. I have seen plenty of terrible drivers in cars.

uhoh, stev's ego is bruised.... it's okay if your pickup truck is your identity but don't take it personally.

and no, not everyone with a pickup truck is white trash, that is a huge assumption on your part and says more about your thinking than mine. people that don't know how to drive them, crash into things, and flee like a spineless coward however, definitely fall into that category, not knowing how to use their vehicles features or driving to conditions.

Let me guess… Going too fast for the conditions. Even a 4x4 truck equipped with (useless) all season tires will end up in the ditch sooner than later.

I would encourage everyone to park in their driveway. The city needs people to as well for snow removal.

I drove by that in the same direction just a few minutes after it happened and wondered why people were out in their pj's checking out the car damage. Too bad I wasn't a little earlier, could have got this creep on my dashcam. I'm sure someone has something!

I would think that if the truck was coming down the hill in the morning, that perhaps the owner might reside in the area - take a drive around the neighborhood to check for trucks in driveways that might show significant damage, then call the RCMP

The truck definitely has some damage to the driver's rear side panel, back bumper. The signal indicator switch probably has some damage on the steering column too, looks like the driver may not have been wearing a seatbelt. They left the house without clearing the snow off the windows, and left soon enough that it hadn't melted when it struck the parked car - you're probably looking for a truck residing in your local vicinity.
The rear bumper license plate is clear, the truck is probably reverse angle parked in a driveway with the back bumper close to a garage door preventing a lot of snow from accumulating on that portion of the truck.

Whoever did this owes someone a new car.
Pretty shameful. That's your neighbour.
