A Richmond Hill man was charged on Saturday following a collision in Toronto’s North York district that left a two‑year‑old child and another pedestrian seriously injured. The incident occurred on June 19, 2026, prompting a response from the Toronto Police Service, which later filed charges against the driver.
Police officers arrived at the scene shortly after the crash was reported. Emergency responders provided immediate medical assistance to the two victims, both of whom were transported to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries. The child, identified as a two‑year‑old, and the second pedestrian were the only individuals reported to have been harmed in the event.
The driver, a resident of Richmond Hill, was taken into custody by Toronto police. Authorities indicated that the charge was related to the collision, but specific details of the alleged offense were not disclosed in the initial report. The police statement confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that further information will be released as it becomes available.
North York residents are accustomed to a high volume of traffic, and incidents involving pedestrians and vehicles are closely monitored by local law‑enforcement agencies. This case underscores the continued focus of the Toronto Police Service on enforcing road safety regulations and pursuing accountability when serious injuries occur.
The hospital has not released further details about the conditions of the child or the other pedestrian, citing privacy considerations. Families of the victims have been advised to seek support services, and the driver’s legal process will proceed in accordance with provincial statutes. The Toronto Police Service encouraged anyone with additional information about the crash to contact them, though no further statements have been made at this time.
The case remains active, and authorities will update the public as the investigation develops.
