Two people are facing charges after a vehicle sped toward and nearly struck officers at a checkstop south of Calgary early Saturday
Mounties in High River tried to stop the vehicle around 12:30 a.m., but it accelerated through the checkstop toward two officers, who had to jump out of the way to avoid injury.
Members of the Okotoks RCMP were able to locate the vehicle a short time later, although the vehicle tried to elude police.
Eventually, the vehicle was damaged and became stuck, so the two occupants got out and tried to run away.
With the help of an RCMP police dog and the Calgary HAWCS police helicopter, police took the pair into custody. Both individuals face charges.
