MILTON, Ont. — Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after several people were injured in a multi-vehicle collision that involved a car being pursued by officers.

The Special Investigations Unit says Halton Regional Police Service officers began following the Honda Fit they believed was connected to a break-in in Milton, west of Toronto, just after 12:15 a.m. on Sunday.

The car was later involved in a crash with a pickup truck and another car.

A 21-year-old man who had been driving the Honda was seriously injured and taken to the hospital.

Two occupants of the pickup truck, a male driver and a woman who are both in their 30s, were also taken to hospital.
