Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has cleared a London police officer of any criminal wrongdoing after a cruiser collided with another vehicle and injured two people.
The crash happened on August 28 in the area of Quebec Street. The SIU said the officer was driving to the scene of a weapons call when he drove past a stop sign and collided with a Ford Focus.
As a result, two people were taken to the hospital for treatment. The passenger, a 62-year-old woman suffered multiple right-side rib fractures.
The SIU said Director Joseph Martino found no reasonable grounds to believe the officer committed a criminal offence in the incident.
"While the officer was responsible for the collision and the injuries suffered by the woman, there were no reasonable grounds to believe that he transgressed the limits of care prescribed by the criminal law," the statement read.
The file has been closed.
