The driver of the vehicle ran a red light at the intersection of 15th Avenue and 15th Street East and collided with another vehicle in the same intersection.

Officers report that bystanders at the scene attempted to provide medical assistance to the two persons in the other vehicle which was hit. 

By the time police parked by the truck, the passengers had already fled the scene of the accident on foot. 

The K-9 unit was called in to assist and one suspect was arrested on scene.

Two other suspects who fled were arrested at Victoria Hospital a short time later.

Two victims of the crash sustained minor injuries and were treated by Parkland Ambulance paramedics.
