'Minor Electrical Fire' In Vehicle Involved In Vaughan Crash That Killed Grandfather And Three Kids

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Oct, 2015 11:01 AM
    VAUGHAN, Ont. — The vehicle belonging to a man charged in an alleged drunk driving incident that killed three children and their grandfather experienced a "minor electrical fire" while being held by police this week.
     
    York Regional Police seized the jeep belonging to Marco Muzzo after the deadly crash on Sunday in Vaughan, Ont., north of Toronto.
     
    On Monday evening, while the vehicle was being held in the secure evidence bay at police headquarters, police say a small fire began in the front grill of the vehicle and was quickly extinguished.
     
    Duty Insp. Gary Miner says the integrity of evidence in the case was not compromised.
     
    Miner says the fire was likely caused by an issue with the battery.
     
    He says nobody came and set the vehicle on fire.
     
    Muzzo, of King Township, Ont., faces a dozen impaired-driving offences and six charges related to the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle after he allegedly crashed into a minivan carrying six members of a family.
     
    Nine-year-old Daniel Neville-Lake, his five-year-old brother Harrison, their two-year-old sister Milly and their 65-year-old grandfather died in the crash.
