TORONTO – The 32-year-old driver of a vehicle is facing charges under the Highway Traffic Act after a child in the back seat fell out of a moving vehicle while still strapped in her child seat.
The incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The child was not injured.
The male driver is facing a $240-fine for not securing the toddler.
Police won’t confirm if the man driving was the girl’s father.
