Deadly Week On The Roads Concludes With Yet Another Fatal Crash
Friday August 18, 2006
It's happened again. And for police, it's happened too often.
Five people have been killed on G.T.A. roads in the last two days.
The latest fatality happened Friday after a car and a van crashed head-on on Highway 27 at Nashville Road around 6:45am. The victim was just 19 years old.
Police closed off parts of the highway around the crash scene as they investigated the tragic accident.
On Thursday, 12-year-old William Gordon was killed when a tractor-trailer smashed into the back of his mother's car on Highway 401 near the Salem exit in Ajax.
Traffic was moving slowly in the area due to construction and the rig was unable to stop in time.
A 76-year-old Thornhill man was killed the same day when a man lost control of his pickup truck and swerved into oncoming traffic on Rutherford Road near Dufferin.
A fourth fatality took place in a crash on Eastbound Highway 7 east of the 400. A man perished in that incident.
And a 50-year-old Brampton man lost his life when his motorcycle crashed on Mayfield Road in Caledon.
The car carnage has police shaking their heads and those worried about safety wondering what's causing it all.
Marium Malik of All Nations Driving School thinks she knows what's behind it. She's been teaching safe driving for the past decade and sees it every year.
"In the winter, drivers are careful because of storm and the snow and everything. In the summer they are more carefree. They don't expect things to happen to them if they are speeding out there. They are tailgating, driving bumper-to-bumper behind someone."
Construction, which led to the accident that killed that young boy Thursday, is another problem.
Many drivers are taken by surprise at the sudden slowdowns that sometimes crop up as they're tooling around at their normal speeds.
Cops remind motorists the rules of the road are just that - and they don't change with the seasons. "Beautiful days...lead you into complacency where you don't put enough thought into driving," warns O.P.P. Cst. Graham Williamson. "All I can say is drive safely."
He's hoping you'll follow that advice - while still leaving room for the guy in front of you.
We Will Love You and Miss You Forever Baha <3
RIP Sweetie
in the memory of our loved one, Baha Nassr who was born on October 28, 1986 and passed away on August 18, 2006 at the age of 19. We will remember him forever Baha passed away in a car crash at Highway 27 and Nashville Road at 6:45 am on his way to work. His tomb is in Israel. People visit the last known place he was alive frequently for respect. His accident was not publicized well, and some did not even know what had happened.
Baha had fallen asleep at the wheel because he didn't have much sleep the night before. Let him be the light the encourages people to not drive when they are intoxicated or tired. He has changed my life especially for this.
Baha, if I could turn, turn back the hands of time
then you would still be here
You were an amazing guy
you will forever be missed!,
you made everyone smile by your random jokes
and always having a smile on your face....if someone was
unhappy it was your first priority to make them crack a
smile...i remember the frist day i met you like it was
yesterday, at elgin mills and younge, i was with lina
and i saw you holding rosies pit bull and i said to her
"who the fuck is that guy i think im in love lol he is sooo
hot", like an idiot i went on mmto hoping you had a
profile and search guys who lived in r-hill and i found
you messaged you and then you told me to add u on msn...
we started talking
and became friends...you were amazing! i WISH i
met up with you that day you asked me to, the day before your
death so i could have seen you smile for the last time
unfortunitly you never know when a person's time
comes and in my opinion your time came too soon...
as everyone is saying "only the good die younge", you
are a perfect example of this..but i guess god had
bigger and better plans for you! he saw how wonderful
you were and needed you to brighten other spirits up above.
Even though you are not here physically, you will
remain in our hearts for eternity... always and forever
you have our love! You have my love! Love you
always and forever! Until the day i die!
