Nova Scotia s Serious Incident Response Team has cleared Cape Breton Regional Police after a fatal crash in Sydney this summer.
HALIFAX Nova Scotia s Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) has ruled there are no grounds for charges against a Cape Breton Regional Police officer after a fatal crash in Sydney, N.S., in July. SIRT ruled in its report that the officer did chase the vehicle that eventually crashed into a home on George Street early in the morning of July 6, but stopped when directed to do so by their supervisor. The evidence showed that the officer had ended the pursuit well in advance of the vehicle changing direction and the cause of the fatal accident was due to excessive speed and failure to negotiate a turn in an attempt to flee the police, SIRT said in a news release.
