When the ATV attempted to get back on the highway it collided with an OPP vehicle near the Burlington Lift Bridge along Eastport Dr.
The ATV operator and his 33-year-old female passenger were transported to hospital for treatment.
“As neither individual suffered a serious injury in the collision, I have terminated the investigation into this incident,” said SIU director Tony Loparco.
The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
