A Cole Harbour RCMP officer is facing charges in connection with a collision that left a person with a broken ankle.
The Serious Incident Response Team released a report Tuesday following an investigation of the incident.
SIRT says the RCMP officer was responding to a call in his police vehicle around 7:30 p.m. on April 16 in Cole Harbour, N.S.
When he entered the intersection of Cole Harbour Road and Forest Hills Parkway, his vehicle was struck by another vehicle with a driver and two passengers.
The police vehicle then struck a third vehicle. A passenger sustained a broken ankle as a result of the collision.
No one else was seriously injured.
SIRT has laid two charges against 32-year-old Const. Mitchell Hire.
Hire is due to appear in Halifax provincial court on Nov. 22 to face charges of failing to stop at a red light and failing to drive with due regard for all persons using the highway.
SIRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia.
