Charges pending after a woman escapes arrest, causes collision

A 27-year-old woman is in custody after escaping arrest and causing a multi-vehicle collision.

It started Wednesday around 5:40 p.m. in the area of 97a Street and 100 Avenue. After a traffic stop officers discovered the driver was wanted on criminal warrants and arrested her. She managed to break free and jump back into her vehicle and speed off even as Mounties were holding onto the doors of the jeep.

The suspect was spotted minutes later in the area of 68 Avenue and 92 Street but again the vehicle took off, this time into a residential neighbourhood then north onto 92 street where it hit an SUV and gravel truck at the intersection of 92 Street and 100 Avenue.

RCMP say the suspect jumped out of the jeep and ran before being arrested again.
