Vancouver police have a man in custody following an alleged carjacking that turned into a demolition derby on the city’s west side Sunday night.
Police say a man entered an idling Honda Pilot parked in the area of Alma Street and West 4th Avenue, forced the lone occupant out of the car and then drove away.
About 45 minutes later, police responded to a collision near Granville Street and West 70th Avenue, after the same Honda Pilot crashed into three vehicles.
The driver fled the scene before police arrived, but was arrested a short distance away.
VPD spokesman Cst. Steve Addison says police are recommending charges against a 22-year-old man in relation to the carjacking and the collision.
His name was not released.
Addison said no injuries were reported.
