Police say they’re looking to speak to witnesses after the driver of an SUV intentionally struck a Toronto parking enforcement vehicle on the Don Valley Parkway last week.

Toronto police said in a news release that officers were called to the collision on the DVP at Lawrence Avenue East shortly after midnight on Jan. 20.

The statement said a parking enforcement officer was in a marked vehicle travelling south on the DVP on-ramp from Lawrence Avenue while another vehicle was heading south on the ramp in the passing lane.

The driver of the second vehicle — described as a black SUV, possibly a Ford — was flashing their high beams at the parking enforcement officer before they “intentionally” struck the parking enforcement vehicle, police said.
