ABBOTSFORD — A 32-year-old man was arrested early Friday (Jan. 24) morning after fleeing a traffic stop and causing a head-on collision on Highway 11.

Abbotsford police attempted to stop a Mustang in the Mission area at approximately 12:30 a.m. for a Motor Vehicle Act violation. The driver failed to comply, fleeing southbound in the northbound lanes of Highway 11, police said.

The suspect’s vehicle collided head-on with a civilian vehicle traveling northbound. Emergency responders transported the civilian driver to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect was also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and taken into custody at the scene.

The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service was called to investigate the crash.

Highway 11, which was closed for several hours, has since reopened.
