The head of the province’s police oversight agency has acquitted a Toronto police officer after a 61-year-old man was seriously injured in a collision.

On March 29, the officer pursued a Mazda and a truck at the corner of Finch Ave. and Humberline Dr. because he suspected the vehicles were involved in the theft of machinery from a business, according to the Special Investigations Unit.

The officer allegedly failed to stop at a red light and sped through the intersection without checking to make sure all other vehicles had yielded the right of way.
