The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has assigned five investigators and two forensic investigators to probe a late-night crash in the city’s north-west end Saturday.
London police were called to a report of a robbery at the Shopper’s Drug Mart at the corner of Oxford Street and Hyde Park Road just before midnight Saturday.
“A short time later, a police officer located a vehicle thought to be connected to the robbery,” said the SIU in a news release.
“Not long after that, a vehicle flipped and crashed on the front lawn of a residence on Hyde Park Road, north of Fanshawe Park Road.”
Reports say police used a spike belt on the roadway in their pursuit of the suspects.
London-Middlesex EMS were called to 2320 Hyde Park Rd., north of Fanshawe Park Rd.
Two occupants, believed to be males in their 30s, were in the vehicle at the time of the rollover crash. One occupant was found unconscious inside the vehicle, while a second occupant fled the scene on foot. Police with K9 attended the area and arrested the suspect a short distance from the crash site.
One patient was transported with a serious upper-body injury, while the other was transported with unspecified injuries.
No further information has been released, and the SIU is now asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529. Anyone with video evidence pertaining to the incident is also asked to send it to the SIU via the agency’s website.
