York police expand online collision reporting to include Vaughan, Richmond Hill
York Regional Police have expanded its online collision reporting service to include collisions that take place in Vaughan and Richmond Hill.
Those regions were previously ineligible for online reporting, but York police say that’s changed effective immediately.
“The online reporting method allows motorists to report at any time of day on their smartphone or another digital device,” a police release states.

“Motorists do not need to report during collision reporting centre hours or wait in line upon arrival.”
Online collision reporting began in the spring of 2023 as part of a pilot project in selected regions. So far, police say it’s been a great success.
