Durham police say a Toronto woman is facing several charges after fleeing from officers during a traffic stop in Oshawa and crashing her vehicle into a large boulder.

The incident happened shortly after midnight on Friday, Nov. 21, when officers on protective patrol attempted to stop a vehicle in the area of King Street West and Thornton Road South.

Police say the driver failed to stop when emergency equipment was activated. A brief pursuit was initiated by responding officers but quickly discontinued when the driver allegedly accelerated at a high rate of speed.

A short time later, officers located the suspect vehicle abandoned off the roadway near Park Road and Hillside Avenue. Investigators say the car had collided with a large boulder before the driver fled on foot.
