    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Aug, 2017 12:36 PM
      RICHMOND, B.C. — RCMP say a Mountie enforcing distracted driving laws in Richmond, B.C., was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene.
       
      Police say an officer stopped a brown 2005 Audi after the driver was seen allegedly using a mobile device while behind the wheel on Monday.
       
      The driver stopped but then suddenly turned to speed away, hitting the officer and a police vehicle.
       
      The officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and RCMP say the police vehicle was substantially damaged.
       
      A civilian vehicle that was also struck had minor damage.
       
      The Audi was eventually found badly damaged and abandoned in Vancouver, and police say it's being examined for forensic identification.
