Car stolen in Windsor hits Dartmouth power pole

A car stolen in Windsor last week crashed into a power pole in Dartmouth after a police chase Tuesday morning.



A 27-year-old Halifax woman, who hasn’t been identified, suffered minor injuries and was taken from the scene on Princess Margaret Boulevard near Killkee Gate.



Wade O’Leary of Windsor, who works in Halifax and went to the crash scene, said he believes a man stole his daughter Jenna’s car overnight last Thursday.



He said she couldn’t find her keys Friday morning and noticed her 1999 Toyota Corolla was gone. The theft was reported to police.



On Tuesday at about 11 a.m., a member of O’Leary’s family, who didn’t want to be identified, saw an older Corolla on Main Street in Dartmouth and called Jenna, who provided a matching licence plate number.



The relative called police and followed the car until police took over.



Officers from Halifax Regional Police and Halifax RCMP took up the chase, which they said was not conducted at high speed, at Wyse and Windmill roads. According to police, they called off their pursuit when an RCMP cruiser came into contact with the Corolla.



But people at the scene said the chase was still underway when the car hit the pole.



Robbie Hatcher, who lives on Killkee Gate, heard sirens and went to an upstairs window.



“I looked outside and then I saw the car go around the corner and hit the lamp pole. She hit the corner too quickly.”
