An SUV involved in a crash in Prince Albert’s East Hill area had fled from police officers at a high rate of speed.

That’s according to information provided by Saskatchewan RCMP.

Early Wednesday morning, at approximately 1 a.m., Prince Albert RCMP were conducting proactive traffic enforcement and observed an SUV driving erratically on Second Ave. E.

Officers attempted a traffic stop but the driver did not obey and fled eastbound on 22nd St. East.

Prince Albert RCMP did not give chase, opting instead to disengage their emergency equipment and followed in the SUV’s direction.
