SIU Concludes Investigation into Cyclist Struck by Cruiser in Kingston

Mississauga, ON (17 September, 2025) ---
The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding the serious injury suffered by a 38-year-old man yesterday in Kingston.

Preliminary information suggests the following:
  • At approximately 4:30 a.m. on September 16, 2025, there was a report of a disturbance in the area of Barrie Street and Johnston Street.
  • Upon arriving, a Kingston Police officer in a cruiser observed two men. 
  • When one of the men fled on his bicycle, the officer attempted to follow him while in the cruiser. They went through a laneway next to 82 Division Street, and at the end of the lane, there was a collision in a cleared space between the cruiser and the bicycle.
  • The cyclist was transported to hospital and later diagnosed with a serious injury. 

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

The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation, including video or photos, to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php
