AIR-1 spots speeding SUV trailing sparks, impaired driver arrested

Early Monday morning Winnipeg Police helicopter Air-1 was patrolling the north end of the city when it spotted an SUV travelling very fast around Mcphillips and Inkster.

The vehicle was throwing off sparks and had extensive front-end damage. Police say the sparkes were caused because the front tire was at a 90-degree angle to the vehicle.
