In a release, RCMP said that on Jan. 16 at 4:25 a.m. an officer was driving on Beaver Bank Road in Beaver Bank when a black outlander ATV with two passengers passed him with no headlights. The officer activated his emergency lights to alert other motorists and the ATV fled.
A short time later, the officer was driving on Beaver Bank Rd. and saw the same ATV at a stop sign on Woodbine Dr.
“As the officer approached, the ATV started and headed towards the police car,” the release said. “The officer turned to block the road and the ATV sped up and struck the front right of the police car.”

Police say the ATV is described as a black Can Am Outlander ATV with the radiator relocated onto the front rack and the two passengers were wearing black with one person wearing a red helmet.
