No Charges Laid Against NRP Officer After Driver Crashes Into House During Police Chase

SIU Director says there is no reason to believe officer committed a crime.

The SIU will not be laying charges against an NRP officer after a 27 year old woman crashed her car during a police chase in Port Colborne. 

On November 20, 2021, officers briefly pursued the woman's vehicle after they saw her speeding on Main Street and make a reckless U-turn. 

Officials say police lost sight of the woman after she drove through a red light at West Side Road. 

A short time later, they were waved down by a man, regarding a collision at a residence on Main Street West near Oakwood Street. 

The driver had crashed into a house and was taken to hospital with a serious injury. 

SIU Director Joseph Martino says there are no reasonable grounds to believe the subject officer committed an offence.
