Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating a crash in Mississauga that sent one person to hospital with serious injuries.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Burnhamthorpe and Dixie roads around 4:30 a.m. Monday for reports of a collision involving a city bus.

CityNews 680 traffic reporter Jordan Kerr was over the scene in a helicopter and says the crash was between an SUV and a Mississauga transit bus. Images from the scene show extensive damage to both vehicles.

Paramedics say one man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

Peel police say the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked their mandate. The SIU is a government agency that is called in when police are involved in a death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.

The intersection of Burnhamthorpe and Dixie is closed for the investigation.
