A police officer suffered minor injuries after a driver rammed a police cruiser during a pursuit in Peterborough, Ont., early Wednesday evening.
According to the Peterborough Police Service, around 6:10 p.m, an off-duty officer first reported an eastbound pickup truck travelling erratically on Lansdowne Street between Lock Street and Goodfellow Road.
On-duty officers located and followed the vehicle on Goodfellow Road and attempted a vehicle stop.
However, police say the truck continued to accelerate, and the pursuit was called off for safety reasons.
A few minutes later, another officer found the suspect vehicle in the area of Talwood Drive and Whitefield Drive.
“The suspect vehicle failed to stop again, ramming a police vehicle before driving off,” police stated.
Police say the officer in the collision suffered minor injuries.
The suspect vehicle — described as a brown/gold-coloured GMC pickup — continued eastbound on Sherbrooke Street, accelerating and driving erratically. A second pursuit was called off due to safety concerns.
