4 Fatal Collisions

York Regional Police

York Regional Police is reminding the public of the shared responsibility of road safety after four people were recently charged in separate fatal collisions that occurred between September 2024 and January 2025.

Many collisions are preventable and there are a number of steps that the public can take to mitigate collisions and ensure that York Region roadways remain safe for all users.  

  • Monitor your speed: Excessive speed is the most common contributing factor to fatal collisions
  • Wear your seatbelt: Using a seatbelt is the most effective way to reduce the chance of injury or death in a motor vehicle collision
  • Don’t drive while impaired: Impaired driving remains the number one criminal cause of death in Canada. When you consume alcohol or drugs and drive, you risk the lives of your passengers, the lives of every other driver and pedestrian on the road and your own
  • Be an attentive driver: Collisions due to distracted driving are becoming increasingly common. Distractions can come from many sources, such as talking or texting on your phone, eating and reading

Since the last public appeal for more diligent operation of motor vehicles, investigators have charged four more drivers involved in fatal collisions.

Charged:Yangyang LIU, 47, of the City of VaughanCharges:Dangerous Operation Cause Death
 Anthony BUFFONE, 46, of the City of Mississauga Dangerous Operation Cause Death x2Dangerous Operations Cause Bodily Harm
 18-year-old male, of the Town of Bolton Dangerous Operation Cause Death
 Asad WADIA, 36, of the City of Vaughan Dangerous Operation Cause Death

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Information can be provided to the Major Collision Investigation Unit by calling 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7704. Anyone wanting to provide information anonymously can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or provide a tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
