SIU investigating collision near Marathon

The Province's Special Investigations Unit is probing an accident Sunday near Marathon that seriously injured two teens. SIU spokesperson Frank Phillips says the investigation is necessary because the two were in a vehicle that the OPP tried to stop on highway 17.  He says the SIU has assigned three investigators to the case.  One officer is the subject of the investigation while twelve officers are witnesses.   Eleven civilian witnesses are also to be questioned.
