The province’s police watchdog has been called in to investigate following a serious collision west of London, Ont., Wednesday morning.
Police say they tried to pull a vehicle over for a highway traffic offence around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday when the vehicle fled.
While driving away from the police cruiser, the suspect vehicle was involved in a collision with another vehicle at Longwoods Road, near Christina Road.
The lone occupant of the suspect vehicle then fled on on foot, while the 59-year-old female driver of the other vehicle needed to be extricated from their vehicle by Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department.
