''Hamilton police have issued an arrest warrant for a 19-year-old woman accused of hitting two police officers with her vehicle during a RIDE check on New Year’s Eve.

Police said the officers were speaking to two drivers in the southbound lanes of Claremont Access just before 11 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2021, when a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe drove through the RIDE lanes, striking two officers and knocking them unconscious.

The officers were taken to hospital with serious injuries and underwent a series of surgeries. They remain in hospital recovering from their injuries.

The vehicle was eventually recovered in the area of Inverness Avenue and Belair Drive but there was no sign of the driver.''

''The woman is also wanted in connection with a separate hit and run from Dec. 31, where officers said they approached a person who appeared passed out behind the wheel, but the driver came to and rammed a cruiser before an arrest could be made, according to investigators.

Police said they've confirmed the 2020 Santa Fe that was involved in that Dec. 31 collision near Fennell Avenue East and Hoover Crescent was the same vehicle that hit officers later that night.

The officers who were injured were taking part in a RIDE check in the southbound lanes of the Claremont Access just before 11 p.m.''

''Investigators said she has brown hair and is five feet nine inches tall and weights about 143 pounds. They're asking anyone who sees her to call 911.''

I'm glad to see she's been arrested. The streets of Hamilton are a bit safer for the time being. Thank God no one got killed due to her dangerous, irresponsible behavior. My prayers go out for the officers' speedy recovery.
