Police in London, Ont., say a 22-year-old man sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries after an overnight crash and the Special Investigations Unit has been notified.

Police say a fast-moving vehicle with no headlights on was driving in the city’s south end just after 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Officers tried to conduct a traffic stop but the driver reportedly fled.

Less than 10 minutes later, emergency services were called to a crash on Osgoode Drive, near Adelaide Street South and Bradley Avenue.

Police say investigators learned the vehicle involved had been reported stolen not long before the failed traffic stop.

A London man has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. Because he sustained injuries during an interaction with police, the Special Investigations Unit has been called in and will be investigating.
