A 24-year-old man from Buffalo Narrows is due in court today after allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase through Prince Albert.

Police say it was around 2:00 a.m. on Saturday when a pickup truck ran through a red light, passing a police vehicle stopped at the intersection in the process.

The officer pursued the suspect vehicle, which accelerated to 80 km/h.

After five blocks, the driver pulled over and was arrested.

The suspect’s name has not been released.

He is facing charges of impaired driving and failing to stop for police.
