A woman has been arrested after what police are describing as reckless driving that spanned multiple cities and ended in a crash on Tuesday (Jan. 16)
Surrey RCMP said in a statement that officers attempted a traffic stop just after 1 p.m. when the driver failed to stop and continued to “drive recklessly” from South Surrey down Fraser Highway.
An RCMP helicopter was used to help locate the vehicle, as the driver went through Langley to Abbotsford before backtracking to Langley, where it collided with a vehicle near 208th Street and 51b Avenue, police said.
“The female driver was arrested by Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services (PDS), and treated at scene by EHS for minor injuries,” said Cpl. James Mason with Surrey RCMP.
He added that the driver hit in the crash was not injured.
The southbound section of 208th Street was closed for about 40 minutes while police secured the scene.
Cpl. Zynal Sharoom with Langley RCMP confirmed the incident was not connected to the recent arson in a Langley City backyard shed nearby.
