WINDSOR, N.S. - A 19-year-old was arrested around 7:15 Saturday evening after a series of events that took place over the course of an hour.
Around 6:05 p.m., an RCMP officer stopped a black Dodge Dakota on Highway 232, also known as Wentworth Road.
RCMP say that the officer was hit by the truck as the male driver was backing up. The driver then fled the scene.
The officer was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg and is expected to make a full recovery.
About an hour later, officers found the truck but the driver failed to stop when police attempted to pull him over. Police say the driver eventually crashed his truck on Highway 354 near the Bull Meadows Range near Upper Rawdon where he was arrested.
The RCMP had contacted Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) regarding the incident, but it was determined that an investigation by SIRT was unnecessary.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
