A 27-year-old was killed after he crashed into a building in the city’s North End Saturday night, shortly after failing to stop for police.
The Winnipeg Police Service says the interaction began around 9:10 p.m. when officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Selkirk Avenue and McKenzie Street.
Police say the vehicle’s insurance was not valid.
The driver of the car ignored the traffic stop and fled police, according to a WPS release. Officers did not pursue.
The vehicle was located a few blocks away after the driver crashed into a building on Selkirk Avenue near Andrews Street.
The man was taken to hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead.
The Winnipeg police’s traffic division is investigating.
