A Young Woman Is Gone — and Police Still Need to Piece Together Why
A 20-year-old woman from Newmarket has died after she was hit by a vehicle at one of the town's busiest intersections — and investigators are now asking anyone who saw it happen to come forward.
York Regional Police say officers responded around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, to the area of Davis Drive and Bathurst Street after multiple calls about a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
On scene, officers found an adult female suffering from serious injuries.
She was rushed to hospital, where she was pronounced deceased shortly after. Police have identified her only as a 20-year-old from Newmarket.
The Driver Stayed. No Charges Have Been Laid.
The vehicle and its driver remained on scene, police say.
No charges have been laid. The investigation remains ongoing, led by the Major Collision Investigation Unit.
Police have not said what led to the collision, and they have not released any further details about the vehicle or the driver.
Investigators Want Dashcam Footage From That Evening
The Major Collision Investigation Unit is appealing to any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police, as well as anyone with dash camera footage from the area around the time of the collision.
Video can be uploaded through the link in the police release. Anyone with information is asked to contact the unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7704.
Even drivers who didn't witness the impact may have recorded something relevant. Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area of Davis Drive and Bathurst Street around 6 p.m. on November 4 to check their footage.
The Twikup Take
A young woman's life ended on an ordinary Wednesday evening — and the full picture of what happened is still missing.
If you drove through Davis Drive and Bathurst Street around 6 p.m. on November 4, check your dashcam. A few seconds of video could give investigators, and her family, answers that are still outstanding.
