A Special Investigations Unit report says there is no reasonable grounds to believe a Saugeen Shores Police Service officer committed a criminal offence in connection with serious injuries suffered by a 45-year-old woman in a collision last December.
On December 25, 2021, an officer pursued a vehicle for not having licence plates. Moments after the half-kilometre pursuit, the vehicle struck a house on Bricker Street in Saugeen Shores.
The 45-year old woman was a passenger in the vehicle at the time, and was diagnosed with a broken arm and head injury.
Director Joseph Martino says the SIU was notified and started an investigation.
In his report, Director Martino found no reasonable grounds to believe that the officer involved, "transgressed the limits of care prescribed by the criminal law" in the context of the case.
