A child sustained “life-altering” injuries as a result of a two-vehicle collision in Vaughan over the weekend, York Regional Police (YRP) say.

Police say they were called to the area of Cold Creek and Kirby roads, located east of Albion Vaughan Road, at around 2 p.m. on Saturday.

There, they located a child with severe injuries. They were airlifted to a trauma centre and remains there in stable condition, police said.

Officers add that one adult suffered minor injuries.
