Why and how did a child sustain “severe injuries” in an unexplained collision in Vaughan, Ontario on Saturday, April 19, 2025? The minimal disclosed information is that the incident occurred at Cold Creek and Kirby Roads, but that is of no help in explaining what occurred. The collision reportedly involved 2 vehicles and therefore at least 2 drivers must have been involved. Yet official news media quoted police that only one adult suffered minor injuries.

At Gorski Consulting we are much more familiar with injury causation in motor vehicle collisions than the average consumer of collision news. Zygmunt Gorski has spent 10 years reconstructing those circumstances by conducting detailed examinations of involved vehicles, mapping the location of occupants contacts in vehicle interiors and matching injuries to those contacts. This familiarity includes the probability that a child should sustain “severe injuries” yet no adult sustains any significant injuries in a two-vehicle collision. It is our view that the reported circumstances do not make sense without the occurrence of something unusual that should not occur. Yet no one has questioned authorities about this.

Children have a limited ability to protect themselves from injury when adults do not protect them. And disclosure about why children sustain injury should not be limited to a select few who could have vested interests in concealing how and why those injuries occur.
