A Maserati slammed into a pickup truck with enough force to flip the truck onto its roof in Colorado Springs on Wednesday night, injuring three people. The car’s driver fled the scene, although police later apprehended him.
Seth B. Vanderiet, 45, of Colorado Springs was speeding westbound on East Platte Avenue when his silver Maserati struck the Dodge pickup travelling in the same direction at 9:13 p.m., according to police.
The force of the impact caused the pickup truck to flip onto its roof, police said.
Two of the truck’s occupants were seriously injured, and a third had minor injuries, police said.
Vanderiet left the scene, but police stopped him a short distance away. He was not injured.
Police arrested Vanderiet on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, vehicular assault, reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and several other charges.
