PC John Zivcic, 34, has died in St. Michael’s Hospital from injuries suffered in the crash of his police car on Saturday. Constable Zivcic suffered head injuries when he was thrown from his car when it came into the same path of another vehicle. Police have not said what happened at the scene. Toronto Police Association president Mike McCormack said, “It’s a terrible day for the Toronto Police Service. “Our hearts are broken for John’s family.” Toronto Mayor Rob Ford called it a very sad day for the city’s police force. “He worked very hard and that’s why we have to support front-line police men and women. They sacrifice their life day in and day out and it’s a very sad day today,” said Ford Zivcic, who was originally from St. Catharines, Ont., was described as a “greatly respected guy,” specifically at 22 Division where he works. Police are saying little about what may have caused the crash, which is under investigation by Traffic Services.
