The province’s Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate to look into a crash west of London.
Around 9:30 yesterday morning, an officer from the Strathroy-Caradock OPP tried to pull over an Audi S4 for a Highway Traffic Act offence, but the driver sped off and crashed into a Toyota Corolla at the intersection of Longwoods Road and Christina Road.
The driver of the Corolla, a 59-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, while the driver of the Audi fled on foot.
The SIU has assigned three investigators and two forensic investigators to the case.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call 1-800-787-8529
