“While evading, the vehicle lost control several times, colliding with a parked car and bus stop, before crashing into a snow bank,” police said in a statement.

“The driver was arrested, and upon a search of his person police located approximately four grams of methamphetamine.”

The 34-year-old driver is now facing charges of dangerous driving, evading police, obstructing a peace officer and possession of methamphetamine. He was also found to be wanted on outstanding warrants and had breached a release order, police said.
