An Ottawa man is facing a slew of charges following a July 3 crash that sent two to hospital.
Police say on that evening, officers observed a vehicle “travelling at a high rate of speed” on Hwy 417.
OPS says shortly after, the vehicle collided with another vehicle.
Both the driver and the passenger, a 22-year-old female, of the first vehicle were transported to hospital with serious injuries.
Following the collision the Special Investigations Unit invoked its mandate to investigate as it standard when a person is seriously injured or killed during an interaction with police.
OPS is continuing its investigation but has laid charges against 35-year-old Guy Lavergne from Ottawa.
He has been charged with the following:
- Impaired Operation Causing Bodily Harm;
- Dangerous Operation Causing Bodily Harm;
- Flight from Peace Officer; and
- Five Counts of Operation While Prohibited.
There has been no update on the SIU investigation.
