PRINCE GEORGE — A RCMP officer escaped serious injury after a motorhome collided with a police cruiser at 7:45 a.m. this morning near 5th Avenue Central Street West.

“The North District member received no serious injury and continued to follow the motorhome, which was driving erratically on the road and would not stop when the member activated his emergency lights. The North District member then contacted the Prince George RCMP frontline officers for assistance in stopping the erratic driver, “says Prince George RCMP Cst. Jennifer Cooper.

She says the driver continued to Haldi Lake Road, where he collided with a pick-up truck at the intersection of Haldi Lake Road and Highway 16 West. The drive of the pick-up truck was not seriously injured.

Cooper says the motorhome finally stopped at an address on the 9000 block of Haldi Lake Road when she says the driver attempted to flee the scene. She says he was ultimately arrested and taken to the Prince George RCMP detachment where he will remain until he can attend court. The female occupant of the motorhome was taken to hospital for treatment of her injuries.
