A 26-year-old man is facing nine charges including impaired driving and resisting arrest following an incident Thursday afternoon that led to a high-speed crash on Ring Road, police say.
According to a Regina Police Service (RPS) news release, officers received a call about a possible impaired driver around noon on Thursday in the 2600 block of 28th Avenue.
During a traffic stop in Harbour Landing the accused fled the scene at a high rate of speed, police say.
About a half-hour later, RPS said they received multiple calls about the same vehicle driving erratically and at a high rate of speed on Ring Road.
The vehicle then collided with a guardrail near the Assiniboine Avenue exit.
A witness who tried to assist following the accident was then assaulted by the driver, according to police.
Police say the suspect then walked into traffic on Ring Road and threw multiple objects at vehicles passing by.
