Three arrested in hit-and-run that critically injured boy, 10
Car seized in Whitby after Scarborough crashes in two locations
Three people have been arrested in a hit-and-run accident in Scarborough on Thursday that left a 10-year-old boy with lifethreatening injuries, police say.
The boy’s 38-year-old mother and a 50-year-old man unrelated to the family suffered nonlife-threatening injuries in the collision. The boy remains in critical condition.
The investigation, which Toronto police Sgt. Jason Kraft called “fluid and ongoing,” spans three locations.
The first scene, where the collision occurred just before noon, is at Eglinton Avenue East and Cedar Drive, near Markham Road.
That’s where the driver of a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze jumped the curb and collided with the three victims who were standing on the corner, waiting to cross Eglinton.
Police said the vehicle continued a short distance and struck a light pole, before the driver fled the scene in the vehicle heading east on Eglinton.
The second scene is around Deekshill and Budworth Drives, about a seven-minute drive northeast of the first scene. Three people were seen getting back into the same vehicle and leaving the area.
The final area is in Whitby, where investigators arrested three people and seized the Cruze, Kraft said.
Rondell Solomon, 20, of Ajax, Annalise Reck, 20, of Mississauga, and a 17-year-old girl from Mississauga were each charged with accessory to a dual procedure offence.
Reck is also charged with failure to comply with a release order.
The teen was also charged with obstructing a peace officer and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
A man in his 20s seen leaving the second scene is encouraged to contact investigators, Kraft said.
The 10-year-old remains in hospital, Kraft said. “Our thoughts are with him and his family at this time.”
The investigation is ongoing by Traffic Services and investigators are asking for witnesses from the two separate locations of Eglinton Avenue East and Cedar Drive and Deekshill Drive and Budworth Drive to step forward.
