Police say the pursuit ended up on Highway 17 then into the Bridgeview area of Surrey.
They say it ended with “a final reckless manoeuvre,” when the truck went into the dock area, where there were about a dozen people, and went off an embankment and into the river.
Mounties say a man got out of the submerged truck and was arrested.
The 40-year-old man remains in custody. Police are asking anyone with information who has not yet spoken with officers to contact the detachment.
