A police officer and a truck driver are both recovering in hospital after their vehicles collided in Brampton Thursday night.
The cruiser and a Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up truck collided just before 11 p.m. at Bramalea and Father Tobin roads.
Both drivers suffered non-life-threatening injuries but needed to be taken to hospital for treatment.
The intersection was closed for a short while overnight as police investigated the circumstances of the crash but the road has since reopened to traffic.
The Special Investigations Unit, a provincial agency that investigates the actions of police every time they are involved in an incident resulting in the death or serious injury of a civilian, was not called in. Peel Regional Police Insp. Mike Donnelly said the injuries suffered in the collision did not meet the threshold for SIU notification.
