VANCOUVER — A man who drove along a sidewalk, hitting trees, vehicles and a senior on a scooter is in custody after two Vancouver police officers used their vehicle to stop the driver.
The senior on the scooter was critically injured, while the two officers are also being treated in hospital.
Police say they were called at about 5:30 Friday morning when a vehicle was seen driving erratically in Vancouver’s West End, striking numerous objects and smashing through a local dog park.
Witnesses say they had to scramble out of the way of the vehicle, but the rider on the scooter couldn’t evade the driver.
