The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating following a crash involving a car and an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) cruiser on Highway 400 in North York.

Just before 8 a.m. on Friday, Ontario Province Police posted on X about a multi-vehicle crash on northbound 400 near Highway 401.

Paramedics told 680 NewsRadio they transported two people with serious but non-life-threatening injuries and a third person with minor injuries.

SIU confirmed a police officer and a driver of a civilian vehicle were transported to hospital.

Just after 8:30 a.m., OPP said the northbound 400 is now fully closed from EB and WB ramps from the 401 and Black Creek Drive. 680 NewsRadio reports the closure is between the 401 and Finch Avenue.

The closure is still in place and it’s unknown when the lanes will reopen.

The SIU is called in to investigate when police conduct may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
