The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) says an RCMP officer will not face charges connected to a head-on collision in New Brunswick last summer.
The collision occurred between a marked police vehicle and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on Highway 105 outside of Perth-Andover on July 3, 2024.
SiRT says the ATV driver was seen running a stop sign, driving on the highway at a high speed and passing cars on a solid line.
An RCMP officer tried to pull the driver over, which resulted in a “low-speed head-on collision.”
The man driving the ATV was taken to hospital with a fractured foot.
The officer was not injured.
SiRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
