The Ontario Provincial Police says the provincial police supervisor relied on his mandate after an incident on Highway 417 at night.
OPP officials in Ottawa were called to a section of the highway near Udrof Avenue shortly after midnight on Thursday after someone fell off an overpass and was injured.
The western lanes in the area were closed overnight, but have reopened ever since.
An Ontario Special Investigation Unit is now involved, although the SIU has not yet provided any additional information.
The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates police conduct that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and / or the firing of a firearm against a person.
