Officer hit by vehicle fleeing traffic stop: Manitoba RCMP
RCMP in Dauphin, Man., continue to investigate after an officer was hit by a vehicle trying to escape a traffic stop.
Police said the incident took place outside a Main Street business in Dauphin just after 2 a.m. Saturday, when a vehicle fled after being pulled over, hitting the officer — who had only minor injuries — in the process.
The vehicle fled south on Main Street and turned left on a side street before crashing into a snowbank.
