The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating after a driver fleeing South Simcoe Police Service officers was involved in a collision with a police cruiser yesterday.

Preliminary information suggests the following:
  • At approximately 2:20 p.m. on November 13, 2026, an officer saw the driver of a car, a Honda Civic, speeding and driving erratically in the area of Line 8 and Summerlyn Trail. The driver didn’t stop and ended up involved in a collision with another police cruiser.
  • One of the occupants of the car fled on foot and was arrested a short distance away. The other occupant in the car, a 27-year-old man, was arrested and transported to a Toronto hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
Three investigators, two forensic investigators and a collision reconstructionist have been assigned to the case.
