While the driver of the vehicle didn’t report any injuries, the RCMP said he was found to be on court-ordered conditions that prohibited him from driving.

After his arrest, police said a search of the vehicle turned up a loaded and illegally modified firearm, ammunition, body armour, 22 grams of crystal meth, a “large sum of cash,” an imitation firearm, and drug trafficking paraphernalia.

The RCMP said the driver is now facing a total of 30 criminal charges, largely related to weapons, drug trafficking and stolen property.

“He also received several traffic-related tickets,” the RCMP added.

He’s scheduled to appear in a Yorkton courtroom on Friday.
