A damaged Jeep is pictured after a rollover on 20 Sideroad and Gilford Road in Innisfil, Ont., on Fri., July 18, 2025.
South Simcoe police arrested a mother and a father for reportedly trying to cover up a rollover collision involving their two children in Innisfil.
According to the service, a witness contacted police on Friday about a two-vehicle crash in the area of 20 Sideroad and Gilford Road. Police say the witness reported one vehicle had rolled into the ditch with a female and two children inside.
When officers arrived, police say a man was at the scene claiming to be the driver of the damaged vehicle, but the authorities say further investigation revealed he had shown up after-the-fact in a separate vehicle, which his wife left in with their children, ages 10 and one.
'Neither the male nor the female attempted to seek medical
attention for the young children," South Simcoe police noted.
Subsequently, the parents, from Lefroy, were arrested and charged. The woman faces failing or refusing to comply with demand, failing to provide the necessities of life to a child, and dangerous operation. The man was charged with public mischief - intent to cause other person to be suspect.
They are scheduled to appear in court to answer to the charges next month.
Police confirm the two children were located safe and taken for medical assessment. They were discharged shortly afterwards.

3 women arrested after altercation, stabbing at North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay

Police in North Vancouver say they've arrested three women in connection to a stabbing that occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning at Lonsdale Quay. Officers responded to 'reports of a distraught female' near the bus loop around 2:45 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP said in a news release Saturday afternoon. When they arrived, officers found a woman who had 'injuries consistent with being assaulted with an edged weapon,' police said. As the investigation continued, police found two other women on the second floor, above the bus loop. Police said one of them had similar injuries to the woman found on the lower floor. 'It's alleged that the three females were involved in a dispute and an assault occurred,' the RCMP release reads. 'Investigators believe this is an isolated incident and there is no risk to the public currently.' All three women were taken into custody for the alleged assaults, and two of the three were taken to hospital for 'injuries ranging from minor to serious,' according to police. 'As the investigation is in its very early stages, there are a lot of unanswered questions that police are seeking answers for,' said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak, in the release. 'What we do know is that there was a dispute between the parties, who were known to each other, before the alleged assault occurred.' Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to investigators to contact them at 604-985-1311 and quote file number 25-15578.
