A man driving what police said was a stolen 2002 Dodge Ram truck “entered into a criminal flight” at around 3:15 a.m.

The man drove through Sherwood Park and eventually ended up westbound on 41 Avenue within Edmonton’s city limits.

Officers put down a spike belt, but police said the vehicle continued driving. It went through a red light at Township Road 510 and 50 Street in Beaumont, Alta., where the truck collided with a 2018 Nissan Titan that was heading south on 50 Street, according to police.

The intersection is located on the northern edge of Beaumont, which is located about five kilometres south of Edmonton.

The 30-year-old woman driving the Titan truck sustained minor injuries, a spokesperson with the Edmonton Police Service said.

The man driving the Dodge Ram was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police said charges are pending against the man driving the Dodge Ram, but did not say what or how many charges the man was facing.
