The search is on by City Police for who was driving a Black, 1997, Monte Carlo with Ontario Plates.
It crashed early this morning at the corner of Adelaide and Victoria Streets and the person driving and riding shot-gun fled on foot.
It was just after 1:30am this morning that City Police were called to a drive by shooting on the West Side.
No one was hurt but if anyone has any information they are asked to City Police at 648-3333 or call Crime-Stoppers.
This is the second house that has been shot at in less than a week with bullets hitting an Albert Street North home on Monday night. No one hurt in that incident either.
Using paint for crosswalk markings in the city doesn't work very well.
The Deputy Commissioner for Municipal Operations, Kevin Rice says in our climate, the paint begins fading after about four months so the city is now trying out something else.........3-M tape on the crosswalks along Woodward Avenue.
The city will evaluate how long they last and do a cost analysis to determine if this will be better financially for the city instead of having to repaint every spring.

Close to six hundred trees will be planted on the of Little River in East Saint John.
ACAP Executive Director Tim Vickers tells CHSJ News, this is a great event to take part in.
Vickers adds along with the improved look, the trees will provide a chance for the native species to return, also provide shade, food and help hold some of the eroding banks in place.
The trees have been donated by J.D. Irving and the Provincial Tree Nursery in Kingsclear.
To get a different perspective on the campaign, our news-room spoke with the wives of the two top contenders trying to become Premier.
Rhonda Alward is the wife of Conservative Boss David and tells CHSJ News, the needs of voters certainly was reinforced over the past month.
Roxanne Reeves is the wife of Premier Shawn Graham and tells CHSJ News, after three campaigns, she is familiar with most of the topics on the minds of voters.
Both Reeves and Rhonda Alward expect a long night Monday but wish all the candidates the very best.
