Driver in fatal crash charged with attempting to disarm police officer
The man arrested after Monday’s pair of crashes is facing a wide array of charges in the wake of the incident, which left one person dead.
According to police, the chain of events began after a 2002 Dodge Ram was stolen from Bassett Crescent Northwest around 1:06 p.m. along with an attached utility trailer. The suspect fled in the truck, reaching speeds of around 100 kilometres per hour.
As the truck entered the intersection of 12 Street Northeast at Division Avenue, it struck a van with two people inside, causing the van to flip and strike another vehicle nearby. The occupants of both vehicles were left with minor injuries.
