Police say a speeding car fleeing a traffic stop struck a B-C Highway Patrol officer on Vancouver Island before crashing into a cement barrier, resulting in minor injuries.
West Shore R-C-M-P say on June 10, officers in Metchosin near Victoria stopped two cars, including one travelling at almost double the speed limit.
The over-speeding car initially pulled over but then fled from the scene, striking an officer in the leg and resulting in minor injuries from which the officer is expected to recover.
The fleeing car then crashed into a cement barrier and landed in a ditch, with police arresting the driver and finding – quote – "a large amount of cash" and – quote – "drug trafficking paraphernalia" in the vehicle.
