A Mississauga man has been charged with drunk driving following a dramatic police chase in Mississauga Wednesday night that was captured on camera.

The drama unfolded in the City Centre around 8:30 p.m. when Peel Regional Police officers tried to stop a pick-up truck that was “driving erratically,” according to Peel Const. George Tudos.

The height of the chase on the YouTube Video is captured around the 0:50 mark.
