The province’s Special Investigations Unit is probing a crash which happened during a police pursuit in Peterborough on Saturday morning.
The collision between two vehicles occurred around 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Parkhill Road and Water Street in the city’s north end.
According to Peterborough Police, a man driving a white Mercedes was driving suspiciously and “committing road offences” which prompted police to follow him.
The suspect vehicle then t-boned another vehicle during the pursuit. A suspect was taken into custody. Police have not provided any details.
The SIU says a police officer saw a vehicle travelling northbound on George St. – a street which is one way for southbound traffic. Police attempted to stop the vehicle but the vehicle continued until the collision.
“A 55-year-old woman involved in the collision was taken to hospital for treatment of a serious injury,” said Moncia Hudon, a SIU communications spokesperson.
On Monday evening the SIU said the woman suffered a leg injury. A 21-year-old man driving the car and a passenger, 21, were not injured.
“The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this incident to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529,” the SIU stated. “The unit is also urging anyone who may have any video evidence related to this incident to upload that video through the SIU website.”
