Video: Vehicle smashes cars and houses in Brampton while fleeing police
Published September 22, 2022 at 9:50 pm
A man is in custody after dangerously driving through suburban Brampton, striking trees and other cars, in an attempt to escape police.
A viral video of the incident is making the rounds as well, and Peel Regional Police stress they are well aware of the driver. Another driver witnessed the incident at a suburban community on Chinguacousy Rd and filmed the attempted escape.
The video cuts in with the Jeep already on the lawn of a home on the corner. A police officer is standing by the Jeep as it tries to back out of the yard.
The Jeep then quickly pull forward crashing into a tree in the yard and pushing it down. The Jeep then backs up again, almost running down an officer standing behind who dodges out of the way.
While still reversing the Jeep hits a traffic light pole and tries to drive away. Then the Jeep tries to flee away from Chinguacousy Rd striking multiple cars as it does so.
