The son of media mogul Conrad Black faces four criminal charges relating to a hit-and-run collision in downtown Toronto that left a man injured.

Jonathan David Black, 30 and the eldest of Black's three children, was charged Sunday with failing to stop after an accident, careless driving, driving while under suspension and operating a motor vehicle without insurance, Toronto police said in a news release.

The charges relate to an incident that occurred Thursday evening, police said. At 10:20 p.m. ET, an Infiniti vehicle rear-ended a stopped car in Toronto's financial district. The Infiniti driver backed up and left the scene, police said. The car was later located, seized and taken for tests at the Centre For Forensic Sciences.

Police said the man driving the stopped vehicle suffered neck and shoulder injuries and was treated and released from hospital.

Earlier this month, Conrad Black began serving a 6½-year jail term at a Florida prison after being convicted in July of defrauding Hollinger International shareholders and obstruction of justice. His lawyers have filed an appeal of his convictions.

His son is expected to appear in court at Toronto's Old City Hall on April 28, police said.

Corrections and Clarifications

  • An Associated Press caption that was in an earlier version of the story stated that Jonathan Black was seen in a July 2007 photo behind his father Conrad Black; however, the man seen behind Conrad Black was not his son, but was Chris O'Connor, a member of Black's legal team, who was not involved in the alleged incident.
