Charges are pending against two people involved a high-speed chase and subsequent crash involving several vehicles in northeast Calgary on Wednesday.
Calgary police say the car was initially stopped by officers in the 4200-block of 14 Ave. S.E., but it reversed and rammed into a cruiser before speeding away.
It then lost control a few blocks away and crashed into a plumbing truck, pushing it into a Canada Post truck, before stopping in the front yard of a home.

The 30-year-old driver was taken to hospital as a precaution, police said, and the passenger was arrested at the scene.
Charges are pending against both people and police have not released their identities.
