The watchdog said the pickup truck kept going at high speed and hit two other vehicles, killing a 33-year-old man.
On Sunday, the Ontario Special Investigations Unit launched an investigation into a fatal crash in Windsor after a vehicle failed to stop for police, resulting in a collision with two other vehicles.
Windsor Police attempted a traffic stop near St. Luke Road and Seminole Street around 4 p.m. Sunday, but the pickup truck did not stop and continued at high speed before crashing into two other vehicles nearby.
A 33-year-old man driving one of the struck vehicles died from his injuries, according to the SIU. One person was pronounced dead at the scene following the collision.
Officers closed Seminole Street between Walker Road and Albert Road, and St. Luke Road between Reginald Street and Metcalfe Street to investigate. The SIU assigned three investigators and three forensic investigators to the case.
The SIU, an independent civilian agency, is now leading the probe into the crash circumstances. Because the agency invoked its mandate, Windsor Police will not release further details about the incident.
