Police in the South Simcoe area say that injuries sustained by a female occupant in a single-vehicle rollover near Bradford were the result of intimate partner violence and have charged a male driver with attempted murder.
The crash happened on March 15 near Line 11 and Sideroad 10 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury.
