A Longueuil police officer was seriously injured Friday morning, after a crash on Highway 116 in Saint-Hubert.
Officers acting on an arrest warrant intercepted a vehicle on the highway, near the intersection of Edouard Boulevard around 5 a.m. ET.
The suspect pulled over, but then rammed into the police cruiser.
One officer was rushed to hospital with serious upper body injuries. A second officer was taken to hospital as a preventative measure, according to Melanie Mercille, spokesperson for Longueuil police.
After the collision, the suspect — a 44-year-old man from Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu– was arrested and is being detained for questioning.
An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances that led to the crash.
Eastbound Highway 116 is closed in direction of Mont-Saint-Bruno for the investigation.
