Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after two people were injured in a car crash east of Loretto early Saturday morning. Around 2 a.m., Nottawasaga Ontario Provincial Police officers were monitoring traffic on County Road 1 when they spotted a vehicle travelling at a high speed. Shortly after, police say the vehicle crashed, sending both the driver and passenger to hospital.
“Preliminary information suggests the passenger suffered a serious, non-life-threatening injury and the driver was not seriously injured,” said the SIU to CTV News. County Road 1 was closed between Adjala-Tecumseth Town Line and Concession Road 7 while investigators worked the scene. The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has now taken over the probe.
Police say they won’t be releasing any further details while the investigation is underway.
