Vancouver police investigate multi-vehicle crash involving suspected stolen pick-up truck

Four people were taken to hospital Saturday evening following a multi-vehicle crash on Main Street involving a “suspected stolen pick-up truck.”

Vancouver Police said it happened just just after 5 p.m., officers tried to pull over a suspected stolen pick-up truck on Main Street near Pender Street, but the driver fled south, and out of concern for public safety, officers decided not to pursue the vehicle.

A short time later, the pick-up collided with a white Ford Focus on Main Street at Prior Street before bouncing into vehicles parked along the east side of Main Street.
