The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating after a collision between a Peel Regional Police cruiser and another vehicle driven by a 23-year-old woman on Monday night.
Police said the two-vehicle crash happened near Bovaird Drive and Dixie Road in Brampton at around 9:30 p.m.
The SIU, also known as Ontario’s police watchdog, said the marked SUV driven by a police officer was en route to a medical-related call for service when it collided with a civilian vehicle.
Both drivers were taken to a Toronto hospital, police said.
“The woman has been diagnosed with serious injuries,” the SIU said.
The SIU added that the officer was not seriously injured.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates the conduct of officers in incidents that have resulted in death, serious injury, or alleged sexual assault.
Several road closures were in place for the investigation.
