This woman dodged a bullet

She ran over my foot... I wouldn't be reaching for the Taser.
-- OTTAWA -- A Taser was used to subdue a woman who side-swiped a taxi and crashed into a police cruiser after running over an Ottawa police officer's foot while trying to flee a traffic stop early Saturday morning.

Ottawa police said the officer had attempted to pull over the suspected impaired driver just after 2:30 a.m. when she sped away, running over the officer's foot.

According to police, the driver then crashed into the taxi and a cruiser before being stopped again.
