SIU investigating fatal crash after attempted police traffic stop in Windsor, Ont.

WINDSOR — Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating a crash in Windsor, Ont., that left a man dead on Sunday.

The Special Investigations Unit says a Windsor police officer spotted a pickup truck of interest on St. Luke Road around 4 p.m. and tried to carry out a traffic stop.

The SIU says the pickup truck didn’t stop and instead continued travelling at high speed.

The agency says the pickup truck was then involved in a crash with two other vehicles near St. Luke Road and Seminole Street.

The SIU says the driver of one of the other vehicles, a 33-year-old man, died from his injuries.

It says three investigators and three forensic investigators have been assigned to the case.
