MIDLAND, Ont. – A provincial police officer has been charged after a three-vehicle crash in Midland, Ont., last month.

OPP say the officer was responding to an emergency call for service when their cruiser collided with two other vehicles at an intersection on the afternoon of Oct. 28.

A photo from the scene shows a marked police SUV upside down, evidently T-boned by a red sedan.

The officer and a driver from one of the other vehicles were both taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police have now charged the officer with failing to stop for a red light.

They didn’t give any further details, other than that the officer has been a member of the force for 16 years.
