Male taken to hospital after trying to stop car thief
A Guelph male was transported to hospital Thursday morning after twice being thrown off the hood of his stolen vehicle.
He had left his car parked and running outside a business in the area of Victoria Road South and York Road shortly before 7 a.m. While inside the business, the victim noticed his car’s headlights come on and ran outside as it was being reversed out of a spot. The victim jumped onto the hood then fell off when the driver braked abruptly.
The victim jumped back on the hood and was thrown off a second time when the driver pulled into a plaza and braked. The victim was transported to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
