SIU investigating after OPP officer, 7 others injured in multi-vehicle crash in Kawartha Lakes
The OPP notified the SIU after a police cruiser was involved and three people, including an officer, were taken to hospital.
- On Friday, August 14, 2026, a three-vehicle collision occurred on Highway 35 near Royal Cedar Road in Somerville Township, involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser.

- Highway 35 was closed from Somerville 3rd Concession to Mason Lane following the collision; the road fully reopened shortly after 1 a.m. on Saturday.
- The Kawartha Lakes OPP will not provide further information regarding the collision's circumstances, as investigating authorities have taken over the file.
