Police search for driver after crash hurts two officers in Burnaby, B.C. GlobeBC
The RCMP were searching for a driver who they say fled a badly damaged stolen vehicle on Monday after it crashed into a parked police cruiser and injured two officers in Burnaby, B.C.
But he says before the police officer could engage the vehicle, it fled into oncoming traffic and the officer determined that a pursuit would be too dangerous.Minutes later, he said the vehicle crashed into a police cruiser that was pulled over at the side of a road, injuring two male officers who were standing nearby.
They were being treated in hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries, and police want to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision. He did not have much information about the two injured officers but he said officers who work for the dog service tend to be experienced.“But I know they’re doing a lot better than what was originally reported a few hours ago.”Police have no information to believe the suspect targeted the officers, he added.
