Kamloops RCMP are on the hunt for a white SUV after the driver rammed a police car before speeding off Wednesday.  

At 1:30 p.m., a Kamloops RCMP officer attempted to pull over a vehicle after it failed to stop for a stop sign.

“The driver refused to stop and made his way onto the Yellowhead Highway," said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie of the Kamloops RCMP. "Once on the highway, the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed and at times, it was driving on the wrong side of the road so the police officers did not pursue the vehicle.

“As the police drove north on the highway, they saw the suspect vehicle on a side road near Rayleigh. Two police vehicles attempted to block the road, but the vehicle drove into the passenger side of a police car and then proceeded north on the Yellowhead Highway again. Police did not pursue.”

The officer in the rammed patrol car was not injured.

The suspect vehicle, a white SUV with possible front-end damage, has not been located.

“If you see any vehicle driving in an erratic manner, please contact the Kamloops RCMP,” Shelkie said.
