Two grandparents and their infant grandchild were killed on a busy stretch of Highway 401 on Monday night after a van being chased by police east of Toronto crashed while going the wrong way, causing a multi-vehicle collision.
The crash – which also left the person in the suspect van dead – raised questions about the police pursuit that had been triggered by an alleged liquor store robbery, as Ontario's police watchdog began its investigation into what happened.
"As part of the investigation, we are going to look into the pursuit. When it started, where it started, what transpired." "Officers followed the cargo van through numerous streets in Durham region as the vehicle drove erratically," Hudon said. Hudon said she did not know if the police pursuit was called off or if officers were asked to pull back before the suspect van got onto the highway.
