VANCOUVER Police arrested a 22-year-old man Sunday night after he allegedly forced a pregnant woman from her car and caused a multi-vehicle collision after fleeing in the stolen vehicle.
VPD officers were called to the area of Alma Street and West 4th Avenue around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, after a man got into a Honda Pilot that was parked and idling. The suspect allegedly forced the lone occupant from the car and drove away.
About 45 minutes later, police responded to a collision near Granville Street and West 70th Avenue, after the same Honda Pilot crashed into three vehicles. The driver fled before police arrived, but officers located the suspect a short distance away and arrested him.
Police are now recommending charges in relation to the carjacking and the collision. No significant injuries were reported.
