According to the SIU, at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, 2023, a London police officer was driving a police cruiser southbound on William Street. As the officer attempted to turn eastbound onto York Street, the cruiser “became involved in a collision with a cyclist.”
The 54-year-old male cyclist was transported to hospital with serious injuries.
He was treated for his injuries and later released from hospital.
As a result of the collision, the SIU is investigating and is appealing to the public for witnesses.
Three investigators and one forensic investigator have been assigned to the case.
