The officer did a U-turn and tried to close the distance between the vehicles, the IIO said in a statement released Monday. A short time later, the officer found a similar sedan on the side of the road. It had crashed into a utility pole. A male believed to be the driver was found in a ditch a few metres away. Comox Valley RCMP said he was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Police are investigating the cause of the crash and the IIO, which reviews all police-involved incidents involving death or serious injury, is looking into whether police actions were linked to the injuries.
