The province’s police watchdog has closed its investigation into a collision last November in Malahide involving an Elgin OPP officer.
After a brief police pursuit, the male driver of a pickup truck was involved in a three-vehicle collision at the intersection of Imperial Road and Ron McNeil Line. The driver suffered serious head injuries in the collison.
Police had been following the vehicle after receiving a report of a possible impaired driver.
The Special Investigations Unit determined there was no question of excessive speed on the part of the officer. Adding the officer was within his rights in seeking to stop the vehicle for further investigation.
