Winnipeg police say the truck owner saw his Ford F150 being stolen Saturday evening and, along with the friend, got in the box of the truck and called 911.
Police say officers got real-time directions from the owner, who wasn’t able to get out safely because of how fast the truck was going.
They say the fleeing vehicle hit an unmarked police canine unit, causing the truck owner and his friend to be ejected from the box.
Police say the two suffered serious injuries.
A 17-year-old boy from Winnipeg faces multiple charges including dangerous driving causing bodily harm, while a 15-year-old girl from Winnipeg faces one count of theft over $5,000.
