The SIU was notified that at approximately 2:00 a.m. on April 3, 2010, officers with the Toronto Police Service were responding to an assault call. A short time later, they attempted to stop a minivan in relation to that call. At Albion Road and Highway 27, the minivan collided with a car in which were a 47-year-old man and his 9-year-old daughter. The father was taken to William Osler Health Centre where he was treated and released. The young girl was taken to Sick Kids Hospital where she underwent surgery for a serious leg fracture. The minivan also hit another vehicle, but no one in that vehicle was injured.
