Alberta politician Derek Fildebrandt denies hit and run on neighbour’s van
EDMONTON — An Alberta legislature member accused of hit and run with his pickup truck says he didn’t do it.
Derek Fildebrandt testified in court Wednesday that if he had backed into his neighbour’s van, he would have owned up to it right away.
“I would’ve left a note on the front windshield. It’s the decent thing to do,” Fildebrandt said in traffic Edmonton court.
He also said given that he is in the public eye, it would have been foolish to run from a practical standpoint.
