Lawyers for Volkswagen say the German auto giant intends to plead guilty to all 60 charges against it in an Ontario court today on allegations that the company broke numerous environmental laws.

The popular German automaker has been charged with 60 counts of contravening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. 

Police say the driver of one vehicle was seriously injured and was transported via LifeFlight helicopter to hospital. 

The diesel scandal has cost Volkswagen more than $33 billion in fines, recall costs and civil settlements.

Volkswagen will stop production of the last version of its Beetle model this week at its plant in Puebla, Mexico.

The automakers are making a last-ditch appeal to try to revive talks in order to avoid years of uncertainty over what rules they will face.

Dozens of firefighters and multiple units responded to the call.

The compact Beetle was introduced in Germany in 1938 during the Nazi era and came to the U.S. 11 years later, where it became a symbol of utilitarian transportation often used by hippies.
