Shortly after 1 a.m., Airdrie RCMP spotted a suspicious Ford F-150 truck pulling a trailer with no lights on. After stopping the vehicle, the driver told police he was trying to fix the lights, before the truck sped off, nearly striking another RCMP vehicle that had arrived at the scene to assist.

The truck traveled along streets in the wrong direction through Airdrie, eventually making its way toward Calgary via the QEII Highway. The Calgary police HAWCS helicopter was dispatched to help follow the truck.

The driver allegedly continued to drive dangerously at excessive speed once he entered Calgary, according to RCMP. The truck eventually stopped along Hwy. 2 and the driver attempted to ditch the trailer it was pulling, but took off when police arrived in the area.
