Two Winnipeg police officers were sent to hospital after their cruiser was involved in a collision during a traffic pursuit.
Police say the crash happened around 10:15 p.m. Thursday at a north-end intersection after patrol officers spotted a vehicle being driven erratically and at high speed.
The driver was stopped but sped away as officers approached, sparking a pursuit that ended a short time later when the vehicle went through a stop sign and struck the cruiser.
The occupants of the suspect vehicle fled on foot but a canine unit eventually tracked them to a residence.
Both officers in the damaged cruiser were taken to hospital and were released after being checked out.
A number of people are in custody but there is no immediate word on charges.
