The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating a collision following a police chase that sent one person to hospital.
In a press release, the SIU said it had invoked its mandate to investigate an incident involving a police officer and member of the public.
According to the SIU, an 18-year-old man sustained an injury in the early hours of April 30 when his vehicle hit a light pole.
At around 3:30 a.m. Durham Regional Police received a call in the area of Bowmanville Avenue and Northglen Boulevard in Haydon, the SIU said.
