Duty Insp. Ryan Jepson said officers were told just before 5 p.m. about the truck driving the wrong way down a street.

Jepson said the truck was seen a short time later on a major Calgary thoroughfare where it hit between six and 10 vehicles.
He said the driver abandoned the delivery truck and ran naked into a nearby neighbourhood where he was taken into custody.
Investigators are working to determine whether the Canada Post truck was stolen, or if the driver, a man in his late 20s, is an actual employee.
