Suspect arrested after car crashed into home

A man is facing multiple charges after a vehicle crashed into a house in St. Boniface early Tuesday.

Police officers were patrolling in the neighbourhood around 2 a.m.  when they spotted a white Honda Pilot missing its front licence plate, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Wednesday.

The vehicle pulled into a parking lot on the 300 block of Provencher Boulevard where officers tried to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver sped away, heading west down Provencher, and nearly striking two officers, police said.

Shortly after, residents of a house on the 200 block of Dollard Boulevard called police to say a vehicle had crashed into it.

The residents were not injured.

Police said a suspect was arrested around 3 a.m. at St. Boniface Hospital, where he was being treated for injuries consistent with being in a motor vehicle collision.

A 41-year-old man has been charged with assaulting a peace officer, dangerous operation of a vehicle, mischief, possession of property obtained by crime and failing to comply with a release order. He was detained in custody.
