VICTORIA (NEWS 1130) — Three people have been injured after a man sped off instead of stopping for police in Victoria early Saturday morning.
Police had waved down the driver at Gorge Road and Rock Bay Avenue. He took off instead of pulling over–crashing into three vehicles in the process–according to the Independent Investigations Office.
The people in those cars were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
“The driver reportedly fled on foot from the scene and officers arrested a suspect nearby,” the IIO says a release.
The police watchdog was called in to investigate, as they are in all cases where police are involved in incidents that result in serious injury or death.
Anyone who witnessed this incident is asked to contact the IIO witness line at 1-855-446-8477.
