Ontario\u2019s police watchdog agency has charged a Halton police officer following a crash while chasing a stolen Hummer over a year ago in Mississauga.<\/p>\n
The Special Investigations Unit says the crash happened on March 12, 2025, around 8:30 a.m. at Winston Churchill Boulevard and Lakeshore Road East, on the border of Mississauga and Oakville.<\/p>\n
Officers with the Halton Regional Police Service had been investigating the theft of a Kia Sedona from a home in Oakville that also involved a stolen GMC Hummer, the SIU says.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the drivers of both vehicles fled the scene and officers attempted to stop them.<\/p>\n
Police gave chase led by Sgt. David Joseph, and the pursuit took officers through Oakville and Mississauga.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the driver of the Hummer was involved in a collision with a diesel fuel truck tractor-trailer at Winston Churchill Boulevard and Lakeshore Road East.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old driver of the Hummer was arrested and rushed to hospital with a serious injury, the SIU says.<\/p>\n
More than a year later, the SIU now says that Joseph has been charged with dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm. The accused is scheduled to make a court appearance in Milton on Nov. 23.<\/p>\n
