Brampton man, Mississauga man charged after police chase ends in a crash

Two Peel Region men face multiple charges — and one is charged with attempted murder — after a police chase early Wednesday where an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser was damaged.

The OPP said that its officers observed a car with a possible Highway Traffic Act violation around 4 a.m. on May 26 on Jane Street in Toronto, just south of Falstaff Avenue. The car allegedly failed to stop during the ensuing pursuit and rammed a police cruiser before fleeing.
