When the man pulled his vehicle to the side of the highway, the SUV pulled up beside him and a man in the passenger seat unloaded a can of bear spray into his car. The man said the driver of the SUV then repeatedly rammed his vehicle before fleeing the scene.

The SUV was described as a newer-model Lincoln Navigator, gold or beige in colour, with a distinct black bumper. The two suspects inside were white men in their 20s, wearing dark clothing.

“The suspect vehicle is quite unique in appearance so we’re hopeful that someone will have information about this vehicle that will help further our investigation,” said Burnaby RCMP spokesman Cpl. Mike Kalanj.
