Man arrested after stealing truck, hitting police car: OPP

One man is in custody after speeding away from police in a stolen vehicle.

Greenstone OPP got a call Friday around 7:30 p.m. about a vehicle taken from a home in Long Lake 58 First Nation.

They spotted it on Highway 11 and tried to pull it over, but the vehicle sped off.

When officers tried to block it on the road, the driver hit one of the cruisers and kept going.

The stolen vehicle was spotted again near Geraldton and police used a spike belt to stop it.

The 20-year-old driver remains in custody and faces multiple charges.

He is set to appear in Thunder Bay court Monday.
