Hanover Police have arrested two people after a dangerous driving incident that resulted in a collision with a police cruiser.
They say just before 2 Sunday morning, officers attempted to stop a vehicle on 4th Ave., near 9th St, BUT IT drove off at a high speed.
The officer deployed a spike belt.
According to police, the vehicle failed to stop for a stop sign and crashed head-on into a second responding police cruiser in the 100 block of 10th St.
They say the vehicle then continued for several blocks before the suspects fled on foot.
After a brief foot chase, a 28-year-old man from Haldimand County was arrested, while a 23-year-old female passenger from Cambridge was arrested about 30 minutes later.
The officer involved in the collision had minor injuries and Hanover police say the cruiser and the suspect’s vehicle both had significant front-end damage.
The 28-year-old man was held pending a bail hearing later today, charged with impaired driving, dangerous operation, flight from police, fail to remain, breach of undertaking, driving under suspension x 2, and having open liquor in a motor vehicle.
The 23-year-old woman was charged with breach of undertaking and later released on conditions with a court date in Walkerton.
