On the evening of November 17, 2019, a 46-year-old man, who was a passenger in a Honda Civic, was involved in a collision with other vehicles at the intersection of Main and Queen Street in Brampton.

That evening, Peel Regional Police (PRP) reported an injury to the Complainant and explained that at 6:37 pm,  officers attempted to stop a stolen vehicle by boxing it in.

Two PRP vehicles collided with the vehicle that the Complainant was a passenger in.

One of the PRP vehicles struck the stolen vehicle head-on, causing the Complainant to strike the windshield and the Complainant was arrested on the scene and taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured nose.

The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Joseph Martino, has determined there are no reasonable grounds to believe that a Peel Regional Police officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the man’s injury.
