Reporting a crash in Richmond Hill.
Ontario requires a police report when anyone is hurt, when combined damage is over $5,000, or when property is damaged. In Richmond Hill, that’s York Regional Police.
York closed its Richmond Hill Collision Reporting Centre in 2025, and most minor collisions are now reported online. Because the rules for Richmond Hill have shifted, call York’s non-emergency line if you’re unsure where to report.
Crashes on the 404 and 407 are OPP responsibility. Call 911 for any collision with injuries.
