B.C. police chase sees pickup truck lose couch, crash into two RCMP cruisers

SALMON ARM — Mounties in B.C.’s southern interior say a wild chase ended with two police cruisers being hit and a couch flying from the back of a pickup truck.

RCMP say officers were called two weeks ago about a silver Dodge Dakota speeding and swerving all over the road.

Police say they tried to stop the truck on the Trans-Canada Highway near Salmon Arm, east of Kamloops, but it sped off.

They say the vehicle was later reported to be tearing through city streets, running stop signs and driving the wrong way on a one-way street — at one point losing the couch and its canopy.
