Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating a crash involving a Peel Regional Police cruiser that sent a female youth to hospital Wednesday night.
Special Investigations Unit (SIU) spokesperson Jason Gennaro told Global News the incident happened around 7:30 p.m. in the area of Main St. N. and Vodden St. E. in Brampton.
“The cruiser was involved in a collision with two other vehicles,” Gennaro said. “The police officer as well as a young woman, a driver of one of the vehicles, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.”
Gennaro said the 17-year-old has since been released from hospital. The condition of the police officer is unknown.
