At midnight, officers stopped a truck near Parr Street and Flora Avenue.

The driver falsely identified himself and sped off, lost control of the truck, colliding with several unoccupied vehicles and a nearby home, police say.

He attempted to run off but was taken into custody.

A passenger had to be removed and was taken to hospital in unstable condition – he has since upgraded to stable.
