A 17-year-old has been arrested and police have started a criminal investigation after someone drove in a "very dangerous manner" in Halifax Wednesday afternoon, say Halifax Regional Police.

Police say they stopped the Chevrolet 2500 with a large trailer attached on the wrong side of Highway 102 near the Dunbrack Street exit. Officers had received several reports of the location of the vehicle through 911.

A criminal investigation is now being conducted that includes reported collisions involving the teen.

Nearby intersections and even the MacKay Bridge experienced traffic disruptions due to safety concerns.
