One child is dead and six others are injured, along with three adults, after a vehicle crashed into a daycare in Richmond Hill, Ont, just north of Toronto.

Eyewitnesses tell CityNews the vehicle drove into the windows of one of the learning spaces of the First Roots Early Education Academy from the parking lot.
