MIDLAND, Ont. – A provincial police officer has been charged after a three-vehicle crash in Midland, Ont., last month.

OPP say the officer was responding to an emergency call for service when their cruiser collided with two other vehicles at an intersection on the afternoon of Oct. 28.

A photo from the scene shows a marked police SUV upside down, evidently T-boned by a red sedan.

The officer and a driver from one of the other vehicles were both taken to hospital with minor injuries.
