MEADOW LAKE – Mounties in northern Saskatchewan say a man faces an attempted murder charge after an officer was hit by a vehicle that he was trying to stop with road spikes.
RCMP say the white SUV sped by a stop sign and onto a highway in Meadow Lake, Sask., northwest of Saskatoon, on Monday.
They say an officer tried multiple times to pull over the vehicle.
The officer was then struck deploying a spike belt and was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The SUV, which ran over the spikes, was later found abandoned, and police arrested a man and a woman.
The 26-year-old man also faces dangerous driving and assault charges, while the woman is charged with fleeing and resisting an officer.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 27, 2026.
