A 24 year-old Sable River, N.S., man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after he fled an RCMP checkpoint early Saturday morning near Liverpool.

Queens District RCMP officers were set up early in the morning, when a Volkswagen Golf approached them and then made an abrupt U-turn. An RCMP officer immediately left the scene to pursue the car.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay told QCCR on Monday that the cruiser was not involved in the crash. The officer found the car off the road and on its roof.

A 25-year-old woman from East Green Harbour was the only other person in the car. Her injuries are not life-threatening.

On March 10, Ottawa firefighters responded to a call that led them to a collision on Leitrim and Bowesville road that involved an OC Transpo bus.

During the collision, the bus had flipped onto it’s side in a ditch while the other vehicle involved remained on the road. Ottawa Fire Services say there were less than 10 passengers on board and they had escaped through the roof hatch of the bus. The driver was stuck inside until firefighters arrived, and they rescued him by cutting off the front windshield with a sawzall.

Fire hazards and other dangerous hazards related to the truck were addressed by the firefighters on scene before they could cause further issues.
