The family of a 10-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding her bike in Thornhill believes the collision was completely preventable.
The parents of Nikita Belykh are seeking $7.5 million in damages from the City of Vaughan and Thanh Loan Nguyen, alleging the 33-year-old Mississauga driver was not only distracted behind the wheel, but travelling too fast.
The city is also being sued for negligence after failing to respond to public concerns about road safety in the area.
