Cops on tail of stolen tractor trailer
TORONTO - Police are pursuing a stolen transport truck that hit a police cruiser earlier this morning.
The tractor trailer unit was stolen about 4 a.m. in the Niagara Region.
With about a dozen cruisers following, the truck rolled down Hwy. 403 and onto Hwy. 401, passing through the Woodstock area.
The driver then got off the westbound lanes and turned around, heading back eastbound through the Kitchener-Waterloo area and into Toronto.
At 11:45 a.m. police were still pursing the truck, which had exited 401 and moved onto the QEW westbound.
The truck apparently had a passenger who bailed out earlier.
"It's not a chase, it's not a chase," OPP Sgt. Dave Woodford said of the lengthy police pursuit.
"We're observing a vehicle that was reported stolen," he reiterated. "There's no chase, there's no cruisers chasing it.
"We're observing it with plain cars," he added.
