Hamilton Police continue to seek witnesses after a serious collision on Mohawk Road left a teen in critical condition.
On Saturday, September 13, 2025, shortly after 10:30 p.m., Hamilton Police responded to a motor vehicle collision in the area of Mohawk Road West and Ashton Road. The incident involved a stolen Volkswagen SUV occupied by a 15-year-old female driver, a 16-year-old female passenger and a 15-year-old female passenger. For unknown reasons, the 16-year-old female occupant was leaning outside the passenger side of the vehicle when they struck a light pole on Mohawk Road West, suffering critical injuries. The SUV then turned southbound on Ashton Road, where the injured youth was removed from the vehicle.
As the driver attempted to flee, the SUV struck a witness vehicle that had stopped to provide assistance to the critically injured female youth. The stolen vehicle was abandoned on Darlington Street a short distance away. Thanks to a witness, one of the occupants was located that evening. The remaining occupant has since identified themselves to police and has been interviewed. Charges are expected; however, the investigation remains ongoing. Given that all of the involved parties are youth, no identification will be released.
The injured youth remains in hospital in serious condition.
The Hamilton Police Collision Reconstruction Unit has taken carriage of the investigation. Investigators are asking any potential witnesses to come forward. Motorists in the area at the time of the collision are asked to review dash camera footage, and residents or businesses in the area are urged to check their surveillance systems for relevant video.
