City police say they spotted the man driving a truck in a reckless manner by Main street and Lansdowne avenue in Saint John. Suspecting he was an impaired driver, police called off the pursuit. Sgt. Tanya LeBlanc tells Tide news the driver was later found in his truck in a driveway after striking two street signs and a car in the driveway. When police approached the truck the driver attempted to drive out of the driveway, causing the police officer to jump out of the way before the truck hit a police car.
The truck then drove towards two more police officers, who also had to dodge out of the way before the truck hit a second patrol car. Police then managed to get the man out of the truck.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor.
