Police have released new video footage that shows a vehicle speeding through a red light and crashing into another vehicle in Markham after its driver was reportedly struck by a rock and rendered unconscious.
The incident is one of 20 similar occurrences in which rocks have been thrown at moving vehicles in Markham since September, according to police.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances leading up to the collision but say that there are several reports that an SUV seen travelling in the opposite lane of traffic may have been involved.“These innocent victims were simply travelling on our roadways, which should be safe for everyone. It’s shocking that such dangerous acts are occurring in our community,” Det. Insp. Sean Chatland said in a news release.
