Four times the posted speed limit
Toronto Star article here



On a different, but also shocking note, Thursday night a York Regional Police officer was seriously injured after she was involved in a collision while responding to an emergency call. She had her lights and siren going and was proceeding on Rutherford Road in Vaughan when a driver of a Mercedes pulled out of a shopping centre right in front of her.

It's amazing. I don't know if it's some kind of basic instinct overriding common sense but a lot of people, when they get in to a collision, they take off like a bat out of hell.Dimension7 wrote:Trying to flee an accident scene where a police officer was involved is even more stupid.
Oh yeah - that police cruiser was one of three in as many days in the GTA that got wrecked when responding to an emergency call, all of which were caused by other drivers. Toronto Police cruiser got trashed on Queen Street after the officer was going with the lights and siren on, and got cut off by another driver.
