Stolen car fleeing from police crashes into MiWay bus in Mississauga: SIU

An 18-year-old man was seriously injured after the car he was driving collided with a MiWay bus as he fled police early Monday morning in Mississauga’s east end.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, which looks into incidents involving police and members of the public whenever a serious injury or death has occurred, is now investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.

According to preliminary information from the SIU, the driver of what’s believed to be a stolen car fled from a Peel Regional Police cruiser after the officer tried to pull the vehicle over at about 4:30 a.m.

Moments later, the fleeing car collided with the MiWay transit bus at Burnhamthorpe Road and Dixie Road.

The SIU said in a news release early Monday afternoon that the man was taken to hospital “and treated for a serious injury.”

The intersection remains closed for the investigation.
