The Ontario Police Oversight Authority is investigating the death of a 28-year-old man whose car crashed after a police chase in the southern end of Ottawa.

The Special Investigations Unit says the officer noticed a driver speeding while using radar in the Hwy. 416 area at around 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday, then the officer decided to pursue the car.

The Special Investigations Unit said in a statement Wednesday afternoon, "The officer stopped the pursuit and located the car after it collided with a pole on Dilworth Road."

The Special Unit stated that three investigators and one forensic investigator have been assigned to the case. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.

Anyone with information, including videos or photos, is asked to contact the Special Investigations Unit at 1-800-787-8529.
