Vehicle Crashes into Richmond Hill Daycare, Injuring Ten Children

A serious incident occurred on March 6, 2024, when a vehicle crashed into a daycare in Richmond Hill, injuring ten children. The crash took place shortly after 15:00 in the area of Yonge Street and Nottingham Drive. Among the injured, one child suffered serious injuries and was transported to the hospital with a parent.

Initially reported by the York Regional Police as involving six children, the number of injured was later revised to ten, with at least one child in critical condition. There has been no immediate update on the extent of the injuries for the other children involved.

Emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene to provide assistance and transport the injured children to nearby hospitals. The police have not yet determined what caused the vehicle to crash into the daycare and are conducting an investigation into the incident.

Parents who arrived at the scene were directed to Thornbush Court for more information and support regarding their children. The situation has understandably caused significant concern among the local community as well as parents whose children were at the daycare during the time of the crash.

As the investigation continues, the York Regional Police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward. Further updates on the conditions of the injured children are expected as authorities gather more information.
