Prince Albert RCMP have charged an adult male for fleeing from police and failing to stop after being involved in a motor vehicle collision.
On January 7, 2026 at approximately 1:00 a.m., Prince Albert RCMP observed an SUV driving erratically on 2nd Avenue East in Prince Albert, SK.
Prince Albert RCMP officers activated their vehicle’s lights and sirens and initiated a traffic stop. The SUV did not stop for police, fleeing eastbound on 22nd Street East. Prince Albert RCMP did not pursue the vehicle; they disengaged their emergency equipment and followed in the SUV’s direction.
Shortly after, Prince Albert RCMP came upon a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of 6th Avenue East and 22nd Street East. The SUV that had fled from police was involved in the collision. The other vehicle involved in the collision was a car. Five individuals exited the SUV and fled on foot.
Local EMS and fire attended the scene of the collision. The passenger of the car was taken to hospital by EMS with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature. The driver of the car did not report injuries to police.
Prince Albert RCMP, with the assistance of Prince Albert Police Service, contained the area. Three females were arrested near the scene of the collision.
A Prince Albert Police Service police dog was deployed to track the two outstanding suspects. As a result of investigation, a male and a female were located and arrested. Three of the arrested individuals from the SUV were taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature.
As a result of continued investigation, Prince Albert RCMP have charged 30-year-old Brennan Cook from Southend with:
- one count, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, Section 320.13(1), Criminal Code;
- one count, flight from peace officer, Section 320.17, Criminal Code; and
- one count, failure to stop after an accident, Section 320.16(1), Criminal Code.
The four other individuals who were initially arrested were later released from police custody without charge.
Brennan Cook appeared in Prince Albert Provincial Court on January 8, 2026.
