It’s bad enough to rear-end a parked car after you’ve had a few too many alcoholic beverages.

It’s immeasurably worse when that parked car is a marked police car being used for surveillance.

Gatineau police said two of their officers were on a watch detail at Notre Dame Street and Lorrain Boulevard Thursday at about 9:30 p.m. when their car was struck hard by a Ford F150 pickup truck.

The driver of the truck took off and the Gatineau officers radioed for reinforcements.

The pickup came to a stop at 794 Notre Dame St., where the passenger leaped out and fled on foot.

Officers quickly rounded up the 25-year-old Gatineau man nearby.

He had been injured in the original crash and was taken to hospital. He faces charges of assaulting an officer breach of release conditions.

Meanwhile, back at the pickup, police arrested a 42-year-old Gatineau man without incident. A breathalyzer test later reported more than twice the permitted level of alcohol in his system.

He faces drunk driving charges, his truck was impounded and his licence suspended for at least 90 days.

Police said the patrol car was “heavily damaged” and was towed from the scene. The officers were apparently not injured.
