SIU investigating motorcycle crash after suspect allegedly fled from police

TORONTO — Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit is looking for witnesses to a collision in Toronto’s west end that left a 24-year-old man with serious injuries.

The SIU says that a Toronto police officer was driving a marked police motorcycle (northbound on Kipling Avenue), when he pulled alongside another motorcycle to speak with the driver.

The driver then allegedly fled the scene and struck a curb before being thrown from his motorcycle and landing in an intersection.

The man was then taken to hospital with a broken arm and a punctured lung.

The SIU has assigned eight investigators to probe the details of the crash.

Anyone with information on the collision is asked to contact the SIU.
