The Special Investigations Unit is seeking witnesses to a Thursday morning incident in downtown Toronto that left a 22-year-old woman with serious injuries.

The police watchdog says Toronto officers were interacting with the occupants of a vehicle at an intersection (King Street East and Jarvis Street) when the driver tried to speed away.

The SIU says the fleeing vehicle struck a female pedestrian, causing serious injuries.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact the SIU.

The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
