Court documents claim mother had cocaine, other drugs in her system when three-year-old son drowned after vehicle wound up in the Grand River
Ryan Flanagan, CTVNews.ca with files from CTV Kitchener's Nicole Lampa and CTV Toronto's John MusselmanAn Ontario mother allegedly tested positive for cocaine, alcohol and other drugs after her car was caught up in floodwaters, sending her three-year-old son to his eventual death, a court document suggests.
Hanson had been driving to her home near Waldemar, Ont., during stormy weather. The nearby Grand River was swelling its banks. Police have said that Hanson’s van became stuck in the water after she drove past a road closure sign, and that she told investigators her son slipped from her grip as she tried to pull him to safety.
Hanson’s charges remain before the courts. Also working through the court system is a separate proceeding relating to a family matter involving Hanson.
