(RENFREW, ON) – On May 1, 2014 at approximately 1:12pm, an officer of the Killaloe detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 41, south of Renfrew. The officer stopped a vehicle for speeding. Upon the officers approach, the vehicle left the scene.
The officer followed the fleeing suspect vehicle for a short period, attempting to stop the vehicle again. When the vehicle would not stop, the officer ceased his attempts.
A short time later, the suspect vehicle was located on Stone Road, Township of Admaston Bromley, involved in a collision. The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle was deceased.
The OPP has notified the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) which has invoked its mandate. As a result the OPP will not be able to provide any further information. Any other inquiries should be directed to SIU Communications at (416) 622-2342.
