A hit-and-run driver has crashed into a trash can on 60th Street in Northeast Calgary.
Police were on scene and described it as “not a pretty sight” in the 3200 block of 60th Street N.E.
“It was a mess,” Officer Jim Renford said. "Trash was all over the street, Coke cans, papers, packets, you name it. The trash can itself was completely destroyed.”
Police arrested three people found hiding in an alley near the suspect’s car, which duty inspector Guy Baker said was “taken without consent.”
Police laid five charges in connection with the crash: dangerous driving, hit and run, impaired driving, driving without a licence, driving without insurance, destruction of a trash can and littering.
A trash can expert was called in to assess whether the garbage disposal unit could be repaired from the damage.
Kevin Mullen, trash can expert, said: "Unfortunately the trash can has been damaged beyond repair. Calgary city may see taxes raised to get a new one put up in its place."

A special funeral is expected to take place in Calgary for the trash can.
