The SIU has terminated its investigation into an incident in Oro-Medonte.
The OPP says an officer pulled over a vehicle for stunt driving on April 24th in the area of Highway 11 and 93.
However, police say the 21 year old female driver fled the scene and got into a serious crash a short time later, before trying to escape in an Uber.
The victim suffered a broken ankle, but the Director of the SIU, Joseph Martino, determined the woman was responsible for her own injuries.
Director Martino said: “Based on the SIU’s preliminary inquiries, I am satisfied that there is patently nothing to investigate as far as the potential criminal liability of any police officer is concerned in connection with the woman’s injury. On this record, it is apparent at this time that no police officer caused or contributed to the woman’s injury in any manner that could conceivably attract criminal sanction. Accordingly, the file is closed.”
