Early Sunday morning, a marked police cruiser was on patrol just west
of Pinawa, when it was side-swiped by an eastbound vehicle.
The force of the collision caused the window of the police car to shatter.
The car made no attempt to stop, so police began pursuit.
The suspect vehicle was pulled over about a kilometer away from the scene of the collision.
The RCMP say the 45 year old driver was charged with impaired driving
and breach of conditions to abstain from alcohol.
The driver of the police cruiser was treated in hospital for minor injuries, while the officer in the passenger seat was unharmed.
