Hamilton police chief arrests 11-year-old after stolen van crashes into porch
A high-speed police chase of two stolen vehicles in central Hamilton ended Friday with a woman in hospital, the front porch of a home in splinters and an 11-year-old boy in handcuffs — clapped on by Chief Frank Bergen, no less. The chaotic incident began around 1:30 p.m. when Hamilton police received reports of a young kid driving an orange minivan in the area of Sanford Avenue North and Cannon Street East , near a Tim Hortons. Spokesperson Jackie Penman said the licence plate on the van came back as stolen. As officers responded, cruiser-equipped plate readers identified another stolen car, a Mercedes, driving alongside the van. Penman said the vehicles took off at a high-rate of speed when officers began a pursuit, with the van heading west on King Street and the Mercedes south on Wentworth Street. Kyle Warren points to where a stolen van smashed into a porch Friday — just missing him and two others sitting outside. A female pedestrian was struck by one of them at Main and Wentworth streets , according to Penman. She remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Penman said the Mercedes was later found abandoned in the east end. Police are actively looking for suspects. The orange van, meanwhile, continued to flee down King before it veered left onto Tisdale Street South, near the No Frills parking lot, and crashed into a front porch head-on. Kyle Warren wasn't given much warning. He was sitting on a lawn chair at his doorstep — his dad and a family friend just next to him — when he heard tires squealing from a distance. 'Then all of a sudden, this van,' Warren said, pointing to the mangled Dodge Caravan, 'was doing 120 (km/h) around the corner, smoked a curb and smashed into the porch.' 'If it wasn't for his dad grabbing me and taking me out of the way, I thought I was dead,' added Tina Andross, who was standing near Warren and his father on Tisdale Street South, next to the affected home. Kyle Warren speaks to media outside his home on Tisdale Street South, with a stolen van which crashed into a porch Friday, missing him and two others sitting outside, behind him. No one was injured in the collision besides the 11-year-old driver, who was arrested within minutes of the pursuit beginning. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Penman said. Besides the impact of the crash, Warren said he was shocked by who arrested the driver responsible: the service's most senior member. It's not uncommon for Chief Bergen to make an appearance at the scene of serious incidents. On Friday, he was the first one there. 'The police chief came out of his (cruiser) and he was the one who put the kid in handcuffs,' Warren said. 'He came to speak with us after to make sure we were OK.' Penman said Bergen was out on patrol when the call came in. 'The chief is regularly out patrolling the city to make sure the city is safe,' she said. A stretch of Wentworth and Tisdale, between Main and King, was expected to be closed to traffic into Friday night. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
