TORONTO, ON — A woman received treatment for minor injuries and was arrested early Tuesday after trying to flee the scene of a crash in Toronto’s East York district, reports Global News.

Toronto Police responded to the northbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway near Don Mills Road some time after 3:19 a.m.

According to investigators, a driver in a Dodge Ram pickup truck with New York licence plates fled an attempted traffic stop. Not long after, the Dodge hit a guardrail while exiting the parkway and the vehicle’s two occupants, a man and a woman, ran away from the scene on foot.
