The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC has completed an investigation involving a police vehicle in Courtenay.
The incident happened on April 29, when an officer driving an unmarked police SUV to a call collided with an unrelated vehicle near Piercy Avenue and 26th Street.
The officer left the scene to respond to the call for service, before returning to the collision site and speaking with the man driving the other vehicle, who was taken to hospital for assessment.
The chief civilian director reviewed the evidence collected by IIO investigators and determined the man’s injuries did not meet the threshold for serious harm under the Police Act.
