The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) in Ontario is seeking the assistance of the public in gathering witness accounts following a pedestrian’s serious injury from a collision with a police cruiser in central London, Ont., one month ago.
According to the SIU, the incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on December 7, 2023, when a London police officer, driving a police cruiser southbound on William Street, attempted to turn eastbound onto York Street. During this turn, the cruiser collided with a cyclist.
The 54-year-old male cyclist sustained serious injuries and was promptly transported to the hospital. After receiving treatment, he was later discharged.
