Last month an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) vehicle was involved in a collision with a civilian vehicle in Cornwall that left a person with serious injuries.

It happened Jan. 15 around 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Ninth and Pitt streets. The 45-year-old passenger in the vehicle was transported to hospital where he was diagnosed with a serious injury.

Because the crash involved an OPP car, the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is looking into the case. The police watchdog is appealing for witnesses of the crash.

The people in a black truck are believed to have been in the area of the collision that day.

The SIU is asking that the occupants of this vehicle reach out to the SIU with any information they may have. The lead investigator can be contacted at t 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php.
