The province’s police watchdog is investigating after a serious five-vehicle crash in Mississauga on Tuesday.
The Special Investigations Unit said shortly before 5 p.m., Toronto police officers started following a car near Hurontario Street and Central Parkway West.
The officers believed a man in the vehicle had been involved in a bank robbery.
The car then got into a crash with four other vehicles at Hurontario and Rathburn Road, about three kilometres away, near Square One Shopping Centre.
The man fled on foot, but was arrested soon after.
He was taken to hospital with a serious injury. It wasn’t clear if the injury happened during the crash or the arrest.
No one else was injured.
Police said they are not looking for any other suspects.
