Family of teen struck at Toronto intersection where speed camera was removed sues province, city and driver
The family of a teen struck by a driver at a Toronto intersection that used to have an automated speed enforcement (ASE) camera before Ontario passed legislation to remove it is suing the province, city and driver for millions of dollars in damages.
The family of Elijah Adebayo, a 15-year-old Toronto teen who suffered life-altering injuries in a car crash outside his high school, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Toronto, the province, and the driver involved. The accident occurred on March 25, 2026, at the intersection of Humber Boulevard North and Louvain Street, a crossing previously known for its dangers to students.
The lawsuit alleges that the city and province failed to maintain proper safety measures at the site despite repeated complaints and the removal of an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera months before the incident. The claim states that the city had previously lowered the speed limit and designated the area a Community Safety Zone, yet they did not install any replacement protective infrastructure after the camera was removed on November 14, 2025.
The lawsuit seeks $16 million in damages, including $12 million for general damages, $3 million for special damages, and $1 million in punitive damages.
