Saanich police say they received reports of a white Tesla driving dangerously around 4 p.m. Thursday.
Saanich police say the incident began around 3:45 p.m. when officers spotted the Tesla driving in a "dangerous manner" near the intersection of Cedar Hill Cross Road and Shelbourne Street. Attempts to stop the vehicle didn't work, police say, so officers decided to pursue the car based on the driver's behaviour.
The Tesla ended up crashing head-on into an Oak Bay police vehicle that was assisting with the call, as well as two Saanich police vehicles, at the intersection of Gordon Head Road and Campus Crescent.The man was eventually taken into custody with help from the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team and police dogs.The driver, meanwhile, was taken to hospital for treatment after the crash, though police did not specific the severity of his injuries Thursday.
