Mississauga, ON (23 June, 2026) ---
The province’s Special Investigations Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding a collision in Simcoe in April that left a 77-year-old woman with serious injuries.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on April 15, 2026, an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser became involved in a collision with a Honda CRV at the intersection of Norfolk Street North and Riverside Road. The driver from the CRV was transported to hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Based on evidence gathered thus far, it appears that the drivers of three vehicles in the area may have witnessed the collision. The SIU is urging the occupants of those three vehicles – and anyone else who may have information about this investigation – to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php

The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of officials (municipal, regional and provincial police officers, police officers with the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service, special constables with the Niagara Parks Commission and peace officers with the Legislative Protective Service) that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person. All investigations are conducted by SIU investigators who are civilians. Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, the Director of the SIU must

  • consider whether the official has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
  • depending on the evidence, cause a criminal charge to be laid against the official where grounds exist for doing so, or close the file without any charges being laid
  • publicly report the results of its investigations
