No charges have been filed as the inaction of the bystanders is not “necessarily” a criminal act, she added.It was unfortunate that for some people getting video footage for social media was “more important than doing the right thing,” Newton said. It was to have to imagine being the teens’ parents and having these videos sent shared with them, she added.
“It could be your brother or your sister,” cautioned Newton. “You’d hope would stop and render assistance.” Police are appealing to any motorists who may have seen the collision or stopped to take photos or videos to contact Huronia West OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122.
