On October 11, 2024, at 8:29 am, the Grey Bruce OPP received a report that a pedestrian was struck on Highway 10 North of Markdale in Chatsworth Township.

The investigation revealed that a school bus was stopped with its lights activated and stop sign extended and a vehicle failed to stop and struck a 13-year-old youth who was crossing the road. The pedestrian received minor injuries.

As a result, a 63-year-old from Toronto was charged with the following:

  • Fail to stop for school bus - stop arm
  • Fail to surrender insurance card

Drivers are reminded to slow down when you see a school bus and give it plenty of space, as it could come to a stop at any time. Remember, failing to stop for a stopped school bus that has its flashing red lights engaged is a serious offence. For a first-time offence, you can be fined from $400 to $2,000 and have six demerit points added to your license. 

 


At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
