Teens charged in ‘violent' collision on Stoney Creek Mountain
A pair of teenage drivers have been charged following a serious crash on Stoney Creek Mountain last month. Hamilton police said in a media release that officers were called to a serious collision involving two vehicles at the intersection of Rymal Road East and Fletcher Road on the night of June 22. A Mazda, travelling westbound on Rymal, was attempting to turn south onto Fletcher when it was struck by a Ford F-150, noted police. That truck, which was being driven by a 16-year-old male from Hamilton, was reportedly travelling at a 'high rate of speed through the intersection,' said the release. Police alleged the driver was travelling more than double the speed limit — 135 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. The 'violent impact' of the high-speed crash caused two occupants of the Mazda — neither of whom police say were wearing a seatbelt — to be thrown from the vehicle. Both driver and passenger suffered serious, life-altering injuries, and weeks later, one person remains in hospital in stable condition, added police. The driver of the Ford F-150, as well as a passenger, both suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital. Due to the severity of the crash, the collision reconstruction unit took over the investigation into the incident. Police said the 16-year-old driver of the Ford F-150 was arrested on July 17 and later released on an undertaking. The teen has been charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, stunt driving, speeding and careless driving causing bodily harm. The dangerous operation charges are under the criminal code, while the remaining charges are under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA). The driver of the Mazda, a 17-year-old from Hamilton, was charged under the HTA with failing to properly wear a seatbelt, driving while under suspension and a G1 license violation for not being unaccompanied by a qualified driver. A 31-year-old from Hamilton, who police identified as the owner of the Mazda, was charged under the HTA, as well as the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, for making a false statement, permit operation of a vehicle without insurance and permit a novice driver to contravene licence conditions. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, noted police, and any witnesses that have not yet spoken to investigators are asked to come forward by calling the collision reconstruction unit at 905-546-4753 .
