A man is in custody following a police chase that led to a multi-vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon.
The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) says officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a black Chevrolet truck that had a mismatched license plate near 82 Avenue and 87 Street.
Police say the truck fled from officers after ramming a marked police vehicle several times.
While evading police, the truck left Edmonton, entering Sherwood Park. EPS remained in pursuit and continued to try and stop the truck.
Around 2:17 p.m., seven minutes after the initial traffic stop was attempted, the truck ran a red light at Wye Road and Salisbury Way and collided with another vehicle.
Police say the driver of the vehicle that was hit was treated at the scene, before being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck was arrested by EPS and was also treated at the scene by emergency medical services.
EPS says the truck driver was cleared to remain in police custody after initially being treated, however, they were later transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say no officers were injured at any point in the incident.
EPS confirms several charges are pending as well.
