What happened

Ontario Provincial Police officers responded at about 5:10 a.m. on Sunday 11 October to a motor vehicle collision at an address on County Road 20 in Kingsville. When officers arrived, they found a vehicle had hit a home, and both the vehicle and the house were engulfed in flames. Police said no one was inside the vehicle, which had been reported stolen.

About an hour later, provincial police received a report of a possible impaired driver from a business on Main Street in Kingsville. Officers went to the location and attempted to stop a vehicle. According to police, the suspect vehicle intentionally collided with a police cruiser and fled the scene. Police said that vehicle had also been reported stolen.
