Police have released a photo of the truck, dated August 23, around 6:20 p.m., which shows the truck driving onto the Pride-themed rainbow crosswalk on 5th Street at Duncan Avenue. 

Cst. Monika Terragni with the Comox Valley RCMP is asking for anybody with information to contact the detachment to help them understand what took place.
