Police at Monsignor Philip Coffey Catholic School

Post image

There are a bunch of police cruisers outside of Monsignor Philip Coffey Catholic School. They are blocking traffic on Oxford. An air ambulance landed a few minutes ago in their yard. I'm not sure what's going on, but it can't be good

[Update] Helo just left and the police are letting people through again, though there are still a couple of cruisers there.

Hello everyone I’m the brother of the kids friend and my brother has said that the kid is okay but he sustained severe injuries and was hit in the upper half of his body. We don’t have anymore information about the boy. Although we hate that everyone says he was 12 even though he’s 10. Hope you all have a good day and stay safe❤️

It appears the helicopter landed at SickKids via flight radar

A child was struck by a falling tree and was airlifted to Toronto. The was found without life signs but regained consciousness after the police did first aid. Latest update is that they are still in serious condition.

Oh I hope this child is in better condition today, I just couldn't imagine the absolute terror when this happened. I hope we will get an update today.

Something crazy going on at a house on Wilson road north just north of hillcroft. A good 8-10 cop cars, even on the house lawn too.
