Peel police are looking for a driver they allege hit a police vehicle and fled the scene during an attempted traffic stop.

Peel Const. Heather Cannon said police tried to stop the vehicle and it collided with the police cruiser. The vehicle then left the scene.

The incident happened around the intersection of Collegeway and Erin Mills Parkway around 12:30 p.m. The police cruiser appears to have been heading westbound on The Collegeway and was rendered undrivable during the alleged hit and run.

Cannon said the incident shows there’s no such thing as a routine traffic stop.

"Our traffic stops, you're literally pulling someone over and you don't know who they are, and it can go bad really quickly," she said.

Police are looking for a black Audi with damage to the passenger side of the vehicle. Police believe the vehicle has a personalized plate beginning with the letter 'M'.

Cannon said there was at least one officer in the car when it was struck.

There were no reported injuries in the incident. The right side of the police cruiser was damaged, including the front right wheel, which bent at nearly a 90 degree angle following the collision.

Police closed the Collegeway, between Erin Mills Parkway and South Millway, is closed for an investigation into the incident.
