An officer with Peel Regional Police is facing a criminal charge in connection with the death of a man earlier this year.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit began probing the case on June 19 after a collision between a police cruiser and a motorcycle in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.
The 41-year-old motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The SIU says it has probable cause to believe the officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the death, but did not release details.
Const. Brandon Strain is charged with one count of dangerous driving causing death.
The SIU is an arms-length agency that investigates situations involving police in which someone is killed, injured or accused of sexual assault.
