The provincial police watchdog has been called in to investigate after a 21-year-old man suffered “serious injuries” after allegedly fleeing a RIDE check in Belwood.
A Special Investigations Unit (SIU) news release states Wellington County OPP were conducting a RIDE check point in the area of North Broadway Street at about 2:40 a.m. on Saturday when a snowmobile was seen being driven “erratically.”
Officers drove to Sideroad 10 and located the snowmobiler but they reportedly fled.
A short while later a man and the snowmobile were found in a nearby ditch in West Garafraxa.
Anyone with information about what happened, including video or photos, is asked to call the SIU lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529.
