TORONTO — The province’s police watchdog says a Toronto officer who struck a jaywalker, breaking both of her ankles, won’t face criminal charges. At the same time, a police cruiser slowing to a stop just past the intersection in the curb lane struck the woman causing several fractures to both of her ankles. “It does not appear the officer had been operating his cruiser in a dangerous fashion prior to the collision. In fact, the officer had slowed and had just about come to a stop when the collision occurred,” Martino said Tuesday in a release. The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
