The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating a collision that occurred overnight in Midland, resulting in the death of a 35-year-old man from Pembroke.
Shortly after midnight on September 29, 2020, an OPP Officer was operating an unmarked police vehicle northbound on Highway 12 in Midland. As the officer approached the intersection of Jones Road, the vehicle struck a man who was crossing the road.

At this time, four investigators, two forensic investigators and one collision reconstructionist have been assigned to the case. One subject officer and four witness officers have been designated.
