SIU Charges OPP Officer
Grey County OPP officer charged with dangerous driving after crash with snowmobile.
(West Grey) - The province's Special Investigations Unit has charged a Grey County OPP officer.
Constable James Hunter has been charged with dangerous driving.
The charge is the result of an investigation by the SIU into a crash involving a snowmobile and an OPP cruiser on the West Back Line in West Grey on March 3rd.
It happened after the snowmobiler did not stop at a RIDE check.
A 26 year old Chatsworth man sustained a fracture to his upper sternum and suffered partially collapsed lungs after the crash.
SIU Director Ian Scott says their investigation shows there are reasonable grounds to believe the officer committed a criminal offence.
Constable Hunter will appear in Walkerton court on September 9th to answer to the charge.
