The office that investigates incidents involving police officers in B.C. has been called to the Comox Valley after efforts to arrest a man Wednesday ended with him in hospital.
The BC RCMP announced Friday that it had notified the Independent Investigations Office of an incident that began with a stolen vehicle investigation in the 700-block of Ryan Road near downtown Courtenay.
"The driver then reportedly drove into the marked police vehicle before leaving the scene," the BC RCMP said in a news release. Police located the vehicle again approximately one kilometre away, where the driver allegedly again drove into a police vehicle, this one unmarked. "The vehicle allegedly attempted to drive past them, lost control and rolled," police said. "The driver was transported to hospital by Emergency Health Services where it was determined that he had suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No other individuals or police officers required medical treatment."
