The police officer's cruiser struck the vehicle the woman was driving Aug. 26 at 3:10 p.m. when she entered the intersection of Indian Road North and Exmouth Street, said the Special Investigations Unit (SIU).

The woman drove into the intersection on a green light at a reasonable speed, but it was unclear why she didn't see the officer who approached the corner with the cruiser's emergency lights and siren on, SIU director Joseph Martino said in a report.

The officer came to a virtual stop at the intersection before entering and had confirmed that most, if not all, of the traffic had yielded before he accelerated forward, Martino said.

The woman was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a fracture in her neck and was later discharged wearing a neck brace.
