A Toronto police officer who works as an investigator in the traffic services division has been charged for allegedly leaving the scene of a crash.

Det. Const. Paul Higgins, 49, was charged Sunday with failing to stop after an accident, Toronto police said in a news release on Monday.

At 1:13 p.m. ET on Saturday, police were called to a two-car collision on the Gardiner Expressway near Jameson Avenue.

Both drivers exited the highway and pulled over. A passenger in one of the cars approached the other car, asking the driver for his name and telling him that police had been called.

The driver said his name was Paul and drove off.

Higgins, who has served on the force for 24 years, is scheduled to appear in court at Old City Hall on Nov. 10.
