A Calgary father and his teenage daughter are struggling to sleep at night after a road trip to central Alberta on Jan. 2 that took an unlikely turn.

“(It was a) terrifying situation, unbelievable terrifying,” said Trevor Mantey.

Mantey was travelling on a secondary highway about five minutes out of Sylvan Lake in his gold Tahoe SUV when he noticed RCMP officers lying in the ditches.

“Out of nowhere there was a spike strip yanked across the highway in front of us,” he said. “I hammered on the brakes and stopped maybe three feet in front of it.

“It didn’t pop my tires — I got lucky there — but looked to my right window and there was a police officer with a gun drawn on me and my daughter, telling us to put our hands in the air and we had no idea what was going on,” said Trevor.
