VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA \u2014 A man has been charged in a vehicle ramming in Vancouver that left the rider of a mobility scooter critically injured and destroyed a police cruiser.<\/p>\n
Vancouver police say the 34-year-old suspect is facing four counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm in the incident Friday in Vancouver’s West End.<\/p>\n
Police say a vehicle drove erratically through a section of Nelson Park, hitting trees and other obstacles and striking a senior on a scooter, who remains in serious condition.<\/p>\n
They say the vehicle then rammed a police vehicle responding to the incident, destroying the cruiser, flipping the other vehicle and sending two officers to hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspect has had “extensive interactions with police” in both B.C. and Saskatchewan, and he remains in custody.<\/p>\n
The two officers were treated and released on the same day of the crash, while a fourth person the driver allegedly attempted to hit escaped uninjured.<\/p>\n
