A motorcycle rider that was involved in a collision with a marked Toronto police cruiser on Friday has died, the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said Saturday.
The collision occurred at the intersection of College Street and University Avenue at around 5:35 p.m., the SIU said.
The police officer was uninjured in the crash.
There was no indication from the SIU if the collision was the result of a pursuit or part of any other investigation at the time.
“The Special Investigations Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision yesterday afternoon,” the SIU said in a news release.
The SIU is an arms-length provincial agency that investigates reports of death, injury, sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm involving a police officer.
