An SUV careened through the window of a Richmond Hill daycare Wednesday in a horrific crash that left a toddler dead and six other children injured in what police were describing as “not a deliberate act.”

The boy, one-and-a-half years old, was pronounced dead after he was rushed to hospital following the 3 p.m. crash. Another child was in serious condition while five other children and three adult staff, all taken to hospital, were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
