IIO investigating crash of unmarked police vehicle

A crash in Courtenay last week is now being investigated by the Independant Investigations Office of BC (IIO). 

The crash happened on April 29, between an unmarked police SUV and an unrelated vehicle near the intersection of Piercy Avenue and 26th Street. 

The IIO report said the police vehicle was responding to a call before getting in the accident. 

The officer continued driving to the call for service after the collision, before returning to speak with the man of the other vehicle. 

The man was taken to the hospital via an ambulance for a medical assessment. 

The IIO was notified on May 2 and is investigating to determine if the injury meets the threshold of serious harm defined by the Police Act or whether the injury was from police action or inaction. 

There is no updated status on the injured driver.
