Crash severs pole, brings wires down; SIU involved

Apparently a high speed chase Tuesday night led to a crash that resulted in a severed hydro pole with wires on the ground.

Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) yesterday said that the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate after an incident overnight in Oshawa.

Police were searching for two possible suspects who fled from a collision scene near King Street and Park Road overnight.

Meanwhile, Oshawa Power said a motor vehicle accident at King and Park has severed a pole and wires are down on the ground. Stay away from the area if you can until crews can repair. Reminder – always stay 30 metres (length of a school bus) away from live wires.

DRPS closed the road and asked road users to avoid the area.
