A Toronto family has launched a lawsuit seeking millions in damages after their teen child was struck by a driver at an intersection that previously housed an automated speed enforcement camera removed following provincial legislation. The action targets the driver involved in the incident, as well as both levels of government—the province and the city—over claims connected to the removal of the speed camera and the ensuing risk at the site.
The legal filing asserts responsibility for injuries sustained by the teen and seeks monetary compensation. The suit names the driver who struck the pedestrian and alleges negligence in connection with the incident. Specific details about the severity of injuries, the exact date of the collision, and the precise location are not provided in the report, but the filing centers on the intersection where the ASE camera once operated prior to policy changes I affecting enforcement in the area.
The case arises in the broader context of changes to automated speed enforcement in Ontario, which included legislation resulting in the camera’s removal from the streets. The family’s suit argues that the removal contributed to ongoing risk at the intersection and seeks damages tied to the incident and its consequences for the teen and their family.
Officials and representatives from the province and city have not been detailed in the release, and no additional statements from the driver or the family are included in the available information. The report does not specify the exact amount sought beyond the category of “millions of dollars” in damages. Further updates are anticipated as the legal process unfolds and the parties respond to the filing.
