However, the SIU says that as the officer approached the motorcycle it made a sudden U-turn and headed east in the westbound lanes, then went the wrong way up the Leslie Street off ramp where it collided with another vehicle.
The motorcyclist, a 25-year-old male, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
