Takedown of reported dangerous driver forces car onto lawn of S.E. Calgary home
A car ended up on the lawn of a southeast Calgary home on Thursday after police conducted a takedown of a suspect reportedly driving dangerously.
Calgary police say they received multiple reports of a man driving erratically in Parkland.
Police deployed six ground units and a helicopter to stop the vehicle, but say the driver wouldn't stop when prompted.
After police used tactics to force the vehicle to pull over, it ended up on a resident's lawn.
In video and pictures submitted to CTV News, a grey car with significant damage to the front end could be seen resting on the lawn of a home in the 700 block of Parkridge Drive S.E., surrounded by police.
