A suspect and a civilian are in hospital after an attempt to apprehend two people in Lloydminster on Wednesday resulted in a collision and an officer-involved shooting.

At about 4:40 p.m., police officers "involved in an investigation" attempted to stop a suspect vehicle, but the driver refused, RCMP said in a news release.

As the suspect vehicle fled police, it was involved in a collision with a civilian vehicle. After the crash, two suspects got out of the vehicle and attempted to flee, RCMP said.

One suspect was arrested after a "short foot pursuit," and officers "engaged the second suspect," police said in a release.

The second suspect was transported to hospital under police guard.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) is investigating the officer-involved shooting, RCMP said.

The civilian driver injured in the crash was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The Lloydminster Major Crimes unit continues to investigate the case.
