Officers were attempting to stop a driver wanted on outstanding warrants along Remembrance Drive in Bargo just after 7pm.

The pursuit was terminated shortly after it began due to concerns over the manner of driving.

A short time later, while one police vehicle was conducting a U-turn, it was struck by a second responding police car.
