Ontario’s police watchdog says it’s investigating after a 21-year-old man and 32-year-old woman were seriously injured in a collision following a police chase in Lindsay, Ont. Sunday morning.
The Special Investigations Unit says a Kawartha Lakes police officer was looking for a BMW in response to a 911 call for unknown trouble.
The SIU says the officer stopped behind the parked BMW in a police cruiser, which prompted the driver to flee and the officer to give chase.
During the pursuit, the police watchdog says the BMW collided with a parked car and landed on top of another parked vehicle.
It says the male driver was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries and the female passenger was taken to a Toronto hospital with serious injuries.
The SIU is asking anyone who witnessed the police pursuit on Victoria Avenue South between Russell Street West and Glenelg Street West to come forward.
