The province’s police watchdog says two officers at the centre of the investigation into a fatal wrong-way crash on Highway 401 in Whitby earlier this year have not agreed to be interviewed or submitted their notes to investigators.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the Special Investigations Unit said seven investigators with the arms-length agency are continuing to probe the Durham Regional Police Service’s handling of the April 29 crash, which left four people, including an infant, dead.
The police pursuit ended in tragedy when the suspect vehicle caused a pileup that killed an infant, the child’s grandparents, and one of the suspects. Nineteen witness officers have been identified and another 36 civilian witnesses have been interviewed, according to the SIU. The SIU also confirmed Wednesday that the other occupant of the fleeing cargo van, a 38-year-old man, remains in hospital.
