Arrest made after stolen truck crashed into buses, almost hit pedestrians

An Ebb and Stream First Nation man is going through expenses after a stolen car collided with metropolis buses and virtually hit a number of pedestrians in rush-hour site visitors, early final month.

On April 7, at round 4:15 p.m., emergency personnel responded to Portage Avenue and Vaughn Road for a report of a collision between a truck and two Winnipeg Transit buses. The driving force of the truck fled and 4 passengers from the buses had been taken to hospital with minor accidents.

“This can be a textbook instance of the hazard that stolen autos pose on our streets and to the general public” mentioned police spokesperson Const. Jay Murray on Monday.

Police mentioned the investigation decided that the truck had been stolen from a parking zone within the 1100 block of Arlington Road earlier that afternoon. The car had been left operating and the sufferer was retrieving objects from the rear seat when the suspect stole the car. The suspect narrowly missed hitting the driving force as he fled within the truck.

The stolen car later collided with the buses after operating a purple mild that had been lively for 16 seconds. Previous to placing the buses, the suspect narrowly missed a number of pedestrians who had been crossing Portage Avenue in rush-hour site visitors. The suspect tried to enter plenty of stopped autos however in the end fled on foot.

“This can be a nice instance of what a stolen car would possibly do,” mentioned Murray. “The car wasn’t being pursued by police, the car was simply driving and this particular person selected to run a lightweight that had been purple for 16 seconds which is a major period of time. It put lots of people in danger and it’s very lucky that there have been solely 4 folks injured with minor accidents. It may have been loads worse.”

A 25-year-old has been charged with theft, harmful driving and plenty of offences below the Highweay Visitors Act. Murray mentioned he was in custody at Headingley Jail on unrelated offences on the time of his arrest. He was detained in custody.
