One cruiser was severely damaged but the officer only suffered some bumps and bruises.
A spike belt was deployed and damaged one of the truck’s tires, however the driver continued on at high speed, eventually making his way into the Bridgeview area of Surrey where a second spike belt was used, popping a few more tires.
The driver then intentionally steered the truck into the Fraser River near a public dock, police said.
He then fled the vehicle on foot but was eventually arrested nearby after a coordinated police search. The suspect remains in custody.
