VANCOUVER \u2014 Vancouver police say a senior citizen has died in hospital more than a week after they were knocked from a mobility scooter when a vehicle sped through the city’s West End, crashing into trees, a police car and other obstacles.<\/p>\n
Police say prosecutors have been informed of the death on Sunday for consideration of additional charges against the suspect, who was already facing four counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm.<\/p>\n
Two officers were also hurt in the May 15 rampage that destroyed a police cruiser and downed trees.<\/p>\n
Police previously said the 34-year-old suspect had had “extensive interactions with police” in both B.C. and Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
The two officers were treated and released on the same day of the crash, while a fourth person the driver allegedly attempted to hit escaped uninjured.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspect remains in custody.<\/p>\n
