Police say that Styles stopped the vehicle at Hwy. 48, just south of Herald Rd in the town of East Gwilimbury at about 4:50 a.m.
Inside were four juveniles.
Police say Styles pulled up behind the van and ran the plates. He discovered that the 15-year-old at the wheel was not the owner of the van and he was not licensed. A police source says the van was stolen.
At that time, Styles walked back to the vehicle, reached inside the van for the keys, and the driver accelerated to escape. Styles was dragged 300 metres before the car lost control and flipped over, pinning the officer underneath.

Several years ago, okay, many many years ago, when I was 17 and 3 weeks away from my 18th birthday, I was stopped for speeding in my parents' vehicle. The officer did everything he could to try to scare me s7itless. He listed all kinds of scenarios that might be possible, frightening me to the point I nearly vomited.
If someone pulled that same kind of "lecture" on another kid, scared them enough, I can see why they would just go stupid and floor it, as their only option. Thing is, police do that. And it makes no sense at all; to take the opportunity for a reasonable interaction and purposefully inject overwhelming fear. I wasn't in that particular car, but I can sure see it happening.
I totally agree. they should take a less aggressive attitude and let them take off and call for help. The officer who was killed in Toronto last year should have stood down and called for help...the man was barefooted in the snowstorm and driving a stolen plow. Maybe lives could be saved.
If you experience some emotional or physical problems in your life it can soon be seen in the condition of your hair, using natural and organic products aids in the recovery of your hair.
Before you go for them, try products at Keranique for hair care.
Generally, these products are more expensive
than their watered-down counterparts, but you can find
a few affordable pure silicone hair products
