The Special Investigations Unit has been called in following a crash involving a Halton Police cruiser.
On Sunday night, a car had failed to stop for O.P.P. officers on the QEW. Halton Police officers then saw the same vehicle in Oakville and Burlington driving in a dangerous manner. The vehicle eventually made contact with a Halton Police cruiser and wound up in a ditch in Hamilton.
The driver, a 44-year old male from Hamilton, was arrested, charged, and set to a hospital. He faces the following charges:
- Dangerous Operation
- Operate Motor Vehicle While Prohibited (8 counts)
- Possession of a Controlled Substance
- Flight from Police
- Fail to Comply with Release Order
- Possession of Stolen Property
Additional charges may be pending.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been notified and has invoked their mandate. The HRPS says it will be unable to provide any further information.
