LOCAL OPP OFFICER AMONG THREE COPS HURT IN INCIDENT

One Peterborough County OPP officer was taken to hospital after a 
driver rammed his police vehicle, along with two others, on Wednesday 
afternoon.

Details of the incident were sketchy at deadline. However, OPP 
Constable Brad Filman confirmed that Const. Brockley was taken to 
hospital with minor neck injuries following the incident.

Two other OPP officers were also injured. One officer was from 
Haliburton County OPP but no information about the other officer was 
available at deadline.

Const. Filman confirmed the officers are members of the Kawartha 
Combined Forces Drug Unit and were investigating a drug offence near 
Gooderham in Haliburton County.

In a press release issued Thursday, Haliburton Highlands OPP said an 
officer from that detachment attempted to stop a vehicle when a 
driver ignored him.

His vehicle was damaged along with two others.

Late Thursday afternoon, police were still searching for the suspects 
and had a command post set up in the Gooderham area.

The OPP's Criminal Investigation Branch is conducting the 
investigation along with the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP and the 
Haliburton County Crime Unit officers.
