- A video taken by a witness and sent to CityNews captures vehicle driving in the wrong direction on Highway 401 near Whitby, moments before a crash and the aftermath.
Somewhere today, there is a son or daughter that lost both their child and their parents over the willful act of a careless, selfish fool. RIP to the deceased and condolences to those who suffer.
the son or daughter that lost their kids and parents also died today as well. might still be alive but I guarantee he/she also died on the inside today as well.
Our policies on crime also. Low cash bail again. Repeat violent offender. Canadians need to wake up, stop dealing with ideology, and put reality back on the docket. Liberal policies have been a disaster on this country from drugs and jail to climate and business. Cracks are so big I can see the scaffolding of this country.
Fools*
Well said. My thoughts exactly too.
My son was traveling on the 401 about a month ago and witnessed a vehicle going the wrong way on the opposite side of the highway, he pulled over and called the police and luckily they stopped them before another tragic accident. Sheer craziness.
Well you wasted no time making this about yourself

According to CTV news, a robbery suspect was fleeing police. This occurred around 7:50 local time near Whitby Ontario. Another report goes on to say 4 fatalities including 1 infant.
My heart goes out to the families who’ve lost loved ones. Just wondering if an emergency alert was put out, I’m just wondering? I realize this all must have escalated very fast.
I'm absolutely appaled and disgusted by the polices behavior. They need to be held accountable for killing those people out of negligence
That is not nnew
we need Canadian law reform, all criminals are let off the hook because the criminals the loopholes of Canadian they do not respect
Start talking to your MP, be diligent and invite all your friends and neighbours and be heard...spread the word don't just wait for the most beggarly candidate on election day.
You don't have a clue what you are talking about. I'm sure there are lots of areas where you are informed enough to make a positive difference in society, but in this case, you need to talk less and listen more because you are ignorant.
Robbery suspects
Lies it was a theft that was escalated, when the suspect pulled a knife on the off duty cop trying to stop him.They should of never chased him in a highly deadly situation. Trucker family should sue
So it was not the person breaking the law and decided to drive up the wrong way to evade police….it was the fault of the police……WHAT??????
@@datruth8868Ok, but why did you open with Lies?
The usual aholes again. This stuff didnt happen when Segregation was enacted.
@@datruth8868 You do know it's their job to catch criminals right?
It's truly heartbreaking to hear about the devastating outcome of this police pursuit. The loss of innocent lives, including that of an infant and their grandparents, is an unimaginable tragedy that could have been avoided. Pursuing a suspect into a high-speed chase on a busy highway, especially when it's beyond the jurisdiction of the local police, seems reckless and unnecessary.
In situations like this, where public safety is paramount, it's essential for law enforcement to consider alternative methods of apprehension. Calling for support from the OPP or utilizing police helicopters could have been safer options to prevent such a catastrophic event. Sadly, the decision to engage in a pursuit led to irreversible consequences.
This incident underscores the importance of reevaluating pursuit policies and emphasizing the safety of innocent bystanders above all else. My heart goes out to the families affected by this tragedy, and I hope that lessons will be learned to prevent similar incidents in the future.
It certainly would have been against policy, but we have so many cowboys and untrained children earning six figures as cops, policy is less powerful than culture and stupidity.
You are right, but really, the one who caused these senseless deaths was the driver of the U-haul. He took the decision to drive on the wrong side of 401. Instead of chastising the police, let's look at this from who is to blame, the thieves and people who decide to break the law.
The criminal is 100% at fault here.
@@hondafannnDurham police needs proper leadership unless you have a badge or are in the industry your opinion is as good as a screen door on a submarine.
@@ryana40 I don't have a badge or am not in the industry. But I do know that HE decided to commit the crime, HE decided to step on that gas pedal and RUN from the police. HE could have stopped that vehicle but HE chose not to. Those were HIS choices and now innocent people are dead. Why didn't you condemn the criminal? Do you not think he deserves most of the blame? You only blamed the police?!
Who cares if the cops were chasing him? Man people refuse to take accountability for anything nowadays… that’s irrefutably the fault of the guy who made the decision to endanger everybody
Exactly! if they had to pull over and obey lawful authority they would be alive today.. Not the Cops fault this person was unhinged
Well, they did say it was a robber trying to flee and that would be someone who's intentionally trying to avoid accountability. It would be wrong to extend that to people not wanting to take accountability these days as we've always had robbers.
duh. because without the chase by cops, the robbers dumb decisions are confined to robbery. Cops, the 'authorities', totally escalated that entire situation... endangering the public. Chasing folks in high speed pursuits, hasn't ever, de-escalated situation like that.
Exactly.
A lot of places in the US no longer allow cops to chase drivers for non violent crimes. So much digital help now that they can trace them. Money or a non violent crime is not worth loss of innocent lives
It was a Uhaul van driving at crazy speeds on the opposite side of the road!!?
@@anthonymichaels257He was running from police.
Blame it on police.
@@user-ld6wo4rv8h Did the police turn his steering wheel & make him go onto the highway the wrong way? 🤦
@@TwistyTrav No. They chased him.
@@SweezeyJeff Do you see police following him in the video? I don't.
As far as I've seen, that fact has not been confirmed by any news agency. Unless you know of one?
seeing alot of people blaming the police instead of the actual criminal
Yeah because they have policies not to pursue high risk and they have a chopper. Are you uneducated? Especially if a guy stole a few bottles from LCBO. They're protecting LCBO. If this was you getting robbed..they wouldn't even bother. Trust me dum dum.
Thats because they understand cops not suppose to persue if it puts public in danger. This is well known.
But I suppose when you live in a world where its ok to bomb an apartment block because o e supposed terrorist may be inside, i can see where your confusion is coming from. Basically this aint Gaza and we believe in accountability.
@@KayJay940 based
@@KayJay940 Chasing a criminal will always put the public in Danger. He chose to go the wrong way on the highway, after he got caught after he chose to commit robbery. This entire situation is on his choices alone. We should be championing the police to do even more to catch criminals especially with Canada in the state that it is. Too many people with multiple felonies are on the streets, there's too many robberies, too many random violent attacks, too many criminals who are caught and released.
Blaming the police for this is like blaming Jason Worley for his wife murdering their two children because, "He shouldn't have tried to divorce her because it put the kids in danger."
@@thenuthouse441the police make choices too. Better to let one robber get away than to wipe out a family of four.

I just can’t imagine what those families are going through loosing loved ones.
This is just so unbelievable'!! my condolences to all the family's evolved

Fuxk I was on the highway from court to whitby when this happened was crazy
I had a dream last night about multiple cars going the wrong direction on a highway. I don't remember if they crashed.
People are really blaming police for what happened rather than the criminal who led to everything in the first place .
When did this happen??
Around 7:50 pm near Whitby. 4 fatalities
@@bobuncle8704 Wow, was this just last night?
@@StarryNightt. Yes. There are several articles on it.
This is insane.
Cannot see much of anything.🤷🏻♀️ I thought high speed chase were not allowed. Weird people either way.
Why were they doing that? 😒💔
Still no name being released for the two suspects. Why are you protecting them? We dont want age. We demand names.
So sad.
When there is a cop Chase happening in highway, why the traffic was not stopped in first place ? This fatal accident could have been very well avoided if the road was closed immediately by the authorities. We Indians do not face such problems but have different problems to deal with. But this one terrified me, looks scary terrible and way more dangerous than the problems that we have here in India.
they cannot close down a HI WAY that busy and big , they cannot do that AT THE SAME TIME as chasing, only call; ahead and ask for others to block off on ramps, but again, at these kinds of speeds, just not feasible.. YES this was just another case of overreach of unqualified authority
yea I saw the guys was driving the other side of the road yesterday on LakeShore. the driver was not even hesitating he was in the wrong lane. LOL
And the last thing I saw was that he was making an Uturn as the middle of the road was blocked. it was hilarious but scary as well if I was coming from the other side.
Ohmagosh so tragic
is he okay?
Nope
Omg 😢this is so sad.
You don't have to be very smart to be a Canadian cop. This video proves it.
Suicide???
Idiots driving on the wrong side are the blame, not the police.
Cops not suppose to persue if it puts public in danger. Period.
Whatever they stole ..dont matter...its not worth 1 life.
Never understood those who are more concerned with the criminal than all the innocent people in danger in order to deflect from the actions of the police in these situations.
it's a simple mind that is obsessed with blame. black and white world view, very shortsighted.
@@KayJay940if someone can endanger peoples lives by driving in the wrong side of the road they were never a good person to begin with. It’s embarrassing for you that i have to explain the concept that some people are bad people! You’re Naive
@@Schadenfreudeeee Nah, they are just brainwashed with neoliberal politics.
I feel sorry for the families that lost loved one.
But I have to question the lack of critical thinking by the cops. They should have known better and probably are responsible for this accident. If they hadn't pursued the vehicle he probably would have exited as soon as he could. But because he threatened one of their members the thought was they had to get him. Consideration for the general public was forgotten. That thin blue line has to be honoured.
How do people stand living in that cesspool! 🤔🤔🤔
It was worse in the 1980s but thankfully, all the small minded bigots moved out.
@@excellNexcel have fun being replaced OR being the replacer whatever you are, it aint good , since you KNOW YOU ARE A BIGOT TOO
I blame the cops yes and the criminal there both idiots the cops are not supposed to chase if it put any of the public in danger
Me in GTA tryna get away from the cops
This is the Police 🚔 folt because this is not the first time this is happening lest year there was a 17 year old boy on the highway and cops going after him and very sadly a mom and her 2 kids died and that is why is a new law the police can't go after them because of the time that it happened there is a lot of Traffic and they had a the information the LCBO had them on Video this is truly so sad
Here in Quebec I've seen my fair share of reckless drivers and not going after these people is a huge mistake. They are going to drive reckless whether they are being chased or not. It's unfortunate that the rest of us on the road have to deal with people like this on the road who have little consideration for anyone but themselves.
I understand but a good Police 🚔 Person will understand Wan it's not worth it and now it's about everyone going home safely and not saying RIP
The off duty officer needs to be charged period. Why stand there and watch the suspect walk right out the door and then call the police? He should have made a citizens arrest, if we can then so can he and he even has more experience than us with criminals. Look at the mess he has caused from Bowmanville to Whitby a whole 20 mins of putting the public at risk.
Moe Ron. If they were armed (or suspected of being armed) then the officer risks bystander casualties by trying to make an arrest of possibly more than one person with NO police equipment - including a firearm. You think they are just going to drop to the ground when he says “I’m making a citizen’s arrest”? Even if it’s just one suspect, same story. Think before you open your keyboard.
Bro thought it was gta
I don't understand you call the cops because someone is stealing your 100k car from you driveway they don't care.a guy robs a liquor store for few hundred dollars they are all over it?

Why you dont try to play gta irl:
I find newish immigrants cut me off in traffic, drive in the merge lane for people wanting to get onto the roadway, don't signal till just before they turn, are using their phones when the turn signal flashes so leave huge gaps between cars turning and speed up if they see someone wanting turn to cross in front of them as well as hang back when a light turns green giving the impression someone could turn in front of them. Can someone say run on sentence? They are looking for car insurance money to claim horrific injuries insurance claims. Driving on the wrong side of the road is just showing how they don't care for anyone but themselves for the mass majority of them. Of course there are some good ones. I'm not a bigot just want to show what I have observed in my mostly immigrant neighborhood. I'm sure they get better at driving as time goes by and might even develop empathy for others, right?
Besides, who rents a U-Haul van as a get away vehicle? If he stole it someone must have left the keys in it then this genius immediately thought, lets rob a bank? He must have been hopped up on something. Clearing not the criminal mastermind he thought he was.
its a scourge! They are purposely destroying the white race. everywhere whites have a homeland is under invasion, and GUESS WHO IS BEHIND THE WHOLE THING~! one guess
Welcome to India. Soon the highways will be full of sacred cows and rickshaws.
do we know if the driver was Indian
Let the finger pointing begin.

Glad that City News removed the audio. In the original video, the people taking the video can be heard laughing and jeering with excitement. Completely oblivious of the magnitude of what could happen.
Wow, I would expect freaking out not laughing.
@@slimthickaz. yeah, it was pretty bad.
Cool.
Obviously video taken with a smart phone. Question is why did someone simply start videotaping starting before the car even came into view?
Maybe they noticed it with their eyes from a distance and recorded after?
@@KiddeeKush The second clip which was after the accident had happened then sure but the first clip of the vehicle passing them on the opposite side of the divider wouldn't have given them much notice plus it started behind them which is not where you would normally be looking. Even if you configure your smart button to start the camera, it takes time to pull out your phone and start video taping. Even dash cams don't always start in time which is why there are models that tape all the time and just have AI trimming away the unnecessary video as space is needed.
Now, if the car they taped going in the wrong direction was one of several first responder vehicles passing them on the way to an accident that had already occurred then I could see someone starting to videotape, after a few had passed them but not if the videotape was of the actual miscreant.
Dash cam
@@marycrawford9428 You can tell it isn't a dash cam by how it's held and pivoted to track the car plus the angles the video is taking. Plus I mentioned dash cams in my post so perhaps you should actually read...
Luckily driving on the wrong side of the highway PROBABLY caused LOTS OF HONKING juss possibly
North American society is sick. Mental health crisis has been ignored for way too long.
its someone that robbed a liquor store , not only that he robbed a different liquor store the week prior and was already released .
Credit cards make a lot of mental issues. Income is limited and expense are high.
So horrific sad 💔😢 sure it is the suspected criminals fault for driving the wrong way 😡 but I also don't agree with high speed chases, especially on a busiest highway. Never the outcome is without tragedy. Could of been anyone. 😰 praying and saddened for loss of life, and everyone involved. 💔🙏

Not blaming the cop entirely but still …
This is on the criminals 100% unless they can prove that if the officers called off the chase things would have ended differently. Given that the criminals robbed the store, threatened multiple people with a knife and drove erratically instead of pulling over this is on them. Very tragic story all around.
Likely already out on bail. Grandparents and toddler gone. Sue Justin and the liberal judge that allowed this.
And if you're a taxpayer you will pay for that lawsuit.
so 4 people died because this guy stole something, fled. was pursued and crashed.... Wow, that is so awful. why didnt the police back off this nut job? So sad for all the deceased and the families. Such a pointless pursuit.

Fake videos on this " event" still waiting on the videos from the police cars because this happened right? Very odd is the video from the girl from whitby apparently where its obviously blurry as i guess that makes sense for a dash cam to be blurry. 8pm incident happened on a Monday yet i guess thsr monday minimal cars on the road in that area. Yea no, drove by that area on a sunday at 9pm and there was way more traffic. The names are made up aswell. No one in india would have to confirm the grandparents names. The ajax parents would easily name their parents. These parents didnt exist until a day or two later somehow, odd aint it? Grandparents and baby in car changes to 5 people in a car but not until days later. These stories will be ongoing .
