(NEW TECUMSETH, ON) – On Monday November 3, 2014 at approximately 5:45 p.m. a three vehicle collision occurred involving a fully marked Nottawasaga Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) vehicle, a compact car and a minivan on the 14th Line between the 10th Sideroad and Industrial Parkway.
A Nottawasaga OPP Officer was responding to a priority call, traveling eastbound on the 14th Line of New Tecumseth. The cruiser crested a hill, with its emergency lights activated when it turned out to avoid a collision with a Honda Accord which was stopped to make a left-hand turn into a private driveway. A westbound Dodge Caravan was also subsequently involved in the collision. The OPP called in their Technical Traffic Collision Investigators (TTCI) to reconstruct the collision.
All three drivers were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries where they were treated and later released.
As a result of the investigation, Provincial Constable Kyle KNEESHAW, a 6-year member of the OPP has been charged with Dangerous Driving, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice located in Newmarket in December.
