A Toronto police officer followed the vehicle.
At the intersection of Humberline Drive and Finch Avenue West, the cruiser became involved in a collision with a cube van.
A 61-year-old man in the van was transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The police officer was also transported to hospital where they were treated and released.
