A driver rolled over a stolen car while attempting to flee from police in Toronto early Monday, officers say. Three people were taken to hospital.
Toronto police said the rollover happened at 5:31 a.m. on Eva Road, which is near Highway 427 and Bloor Street West in Etobicoke.
“Officers assigned to the provincial carjacking task force observed a stolen vehicle. The officers attempted to strategically box the vehicle in order to prevent a pursuit,” Acting Duty Insp. Errol Watson told reporters.
“At that time, the driver rolled the car in an attempt to get away.”
Officers got the two occupants out of the car and they were arrested, Watson said.
An officer and the two occupants suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital. No one else was injured.
Watson said a total of four cars were damaged in the incident.
