GRAVENHURST — A Ramara Township resident faces three charges following an Aug. 5 accident last summer in west Gravenhurst that claimed two Muskoka men.
Police laid the charges today against Robyn Tonello, 35.

The collision claimed two lives, that of a 50-year-old Gravenhurst man and a 61-year-old Muskoka Lakes Township man.
Police said in a release late this afternoon that investigations of this nature are complex and time consuming. And on January 12 police arrested and charged Tonello with:
- Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Death X 2
- Operation while Impaired- Over 80.
Tonello is to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on January 14, 2026, for a bail hearing.
