SASKATOON - Saskatoon police say two teenagers are dead and charges are pending against another teen and young woman following a dramatic crash involving a stolen truck.
Police say an officer was trying to stop the truck last night, and had activated his cruiser's emergency equipment, when the truck sped through a busy intersection.
The truck crashed into two other vehicles, pushing one of them into a medical clinic on the corner.
Police say two 17-year-olds, a boy and girl, were killed and a 16-year-old girl in the same car was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A 17-year-old girl and 21-year-old woman in the truck were treated in hospital for minor injuries.
They are now in custody and police say they expect the pair will face numerous charges.
