Case Number: 22-TVI-109   

Mississauga, ON (14 April, 2022) ---
The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding a collision on Tuesday evening that resulted in serious injuries to a 24-year-old man.

Preliminary information suggests the following:
  • On the evening of April 12, 2022, Toronto Police Service officers responded to the area of Aukland Road and Dundas Street West after receiving a report of a man on foot causing a disturbance in traffic. 
  • Officers located the male, who had by this time entered a vehicle. As the officers followed the vehicle, the driver became involved in multiple collisions. He was eventually apprehended.
  • As a result of one of the collisions in the area of Queensway East and Dixie Road, a man waiting at the intersection in a vehicle sustained a serious injury. He was taken to hospital for treatment.

Three investigators and one collision reconstructionist have been assigned to the case.
