Wintry blast proves deadly
Weather cited in fatal crash
Monday, April 04, 2005
The return of winter weather is being blamed for a crash Saturday
near Flesherton that resulted in the death of a woman from The
Blue Mountains.
The two-vehicle collision happened just east of Flesherton on
Grey County Road 4 at about 4: 45 p.m., according to a news release
from the Grey County Ontario Provincial Police. A car driven
by Teresa RIMMER, 43, spun out of control and into the path of
an oncoming pickup truck which was towing a horse trailer.
Police said the force of the crash caused the car to roll onto
its roof in the south ditch. The truck's driver and passenger,
as well as paramedics and firefighters, tried to help
RIMMER
but she had no vital signs.
RIMMER, who hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, was taken to the
Owen Sound hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 5: 25 p.m.
The driver of the truck, Wilbert
WEATHERALL, 74, and passenger
Dom STODDART, 49, both of Grey Highlands, weren't hurt.
The two horses in the trailer were also uninjured.
The road was closed for several hours while Ontario Provincial
Police Technical Traffic Investigators investigated. Weather
conditions, including wet and drifting snow, caused “treacherous
driving conditions” around the time of the crash, the release said.
Conditions were no better Sunday, resulting in the closure of
at least three roads in the area. Highway 10 between Flesherton
and Shelburne was closed, as was Highway 89 east of Mount Forest
and Grey Road 4 between Flesherton and Grey Road 124.
Highway 6 at Clavering was also closed for a time Sunday because
hydro lines fell across the road.
Heavy snow, rain, ice and high winds were also responsible for
power outages elsewhere in Grey-Bruce and across southern Ontario.
Many Hydro One customers in the former townships of Albemarle,
Artemesia, Collingwood, Glenelg, Osprey and Proton were still
without electricity late Sunday evening.
Emergency crews were expected to work through the night Sunday
to restore power, alongside extra crews brought in from northern
areas that weren't hit by the storm.
Despite these efforts, Hydro-One said a number of the 35,000
customers affected would likely remain without power until this morning.
“The big problem with this kind of storm is that there's hundreds
of outages across the province,” Hydro-One spokesman Daffyd
RODERICK
said Sunday. “The storm is still beating up on parts of the province,
so as quickly as we're getting people back up we're losing new
ones.&rdquo
Ontario
Provincial
Police Sgt. Cam
WOOLLEY said Sunday that almost
500 collisions were reported in the province. Police officers,
firefighters and paramedics worked around the clock to deal with them.
“The snow is so heavy and it's molasses-like,”
WOOLLEY said.
“It's not like it's snow that can be wiped by a plow and the
road is clear because what's laying underneath is ice.&rdquo
High winds, rain, and heavy snow made it difficult for motorists
to manoeuvre on the road, he said.
What's more, some municipal contracts with plowing companies
ended on March 31. They were left scrambling to clear the roads.
Even for the plows that made it out on the road, the efforts
were almost futile, said
WOOLLEY.
That's because snow piled up
behind them as they drove.

Head-on crash kills two, hurts another
One driver going wrong way on 401
Woman survived impact of 200 km/h
By Bob MITCHELL,
Staff
Reporter
Two men are dead and a woman is fighting for her life following
a horrific head-on crash on Highway 401 early yesterday that
police say was caused by one of the vehicles travelling the wrong
way on the highway.
"Both of the vehicles were travelling at highway speeds. That
means at least at 100 km/h and when they hit, you're looking
at a combined impact at 200 km/h," Ontario Provincial Police
Sergeant Cam
WOOLLEY said.
"It's incredible that anybody survived."
Police said the impact occurred at the crest of a hill on the
highway and it's unlikely either driver had enough time to react
before the collision near Milton.
"Considering the speeds and the fact they were closing in on
each other, there would have been little opportunity for either
of them to brake or swerve,"
WOOLLEY said.
"They hit head-on, headlight to headlight."
Thomas QUIGLEY, 31, and his passenger, Douglas
ALLEN, 41, both
of Kitchener, died instantly in the crash, which occurred about
3: 03 a.m. yesterday in the westbound passing lane of the highway
at Guelph Line in Milton.
The jaws of life were needed to free Lynn
ALBRECHT, 45, of Woodstock,
from the crushed Pontiac she was driving. She was rushed to Hamilton
General Hospital by air ambulance and she remains in critical
condition with life-threatening injuries.
"She was conscious when taken to hospital,"
WOOLLEY said. "It
took emergency personnel from the Milton fire department more
than an hour and a half to free her from the wreckage."
Police haven't released the cause of the collision or said which
of the vehicles was travelling the wrong way. However, they said
most collisions caused by vehicles travelling the wrong way on
a highway involve fatigue, impairment, senility and even suicide.
Collision reconstructionists spent several hours at the crash
scene and the westbound lanes of the highway were closed until
about 8: 25 a.m.
The eastbound lanes needed to be temporarily closed for about
30 minutes until about 5: 30 a.m. to allow the helicopter to land.
As part of their investigation, police are trying to determine
the last-known movements of the drivers of both vehicles, including
where they were coming from and what they had been doing earlier
in the evening.
"Based on certain circumstances, there is evidence pointing to
which of the cars was going the wrong way,"
WOOLLEY said.
"But we're still talking with witnesses: and we don't want to
taint the evidence."
Provincial police said a call came into their communications
centre indicating that a car was travelling eastbound in the
westbound lanes between Highway 25 and the Guelph Line.
Minutes later, another call came in saying there had been a head-on
collision,
WOOLLEY said.
The crash was the second fatality probed by the Ontario Provincial
Police in a matter of hours.
Investigators had just cleared a crash on Highway 410, where
Rajeenthan
SARAVANAMUTHU, 24, of Toronto died when he lost control
of his 1991 black Honda Civic, crashed into a steel guardrail
and rolled into a ditch.
The collision occurred about 11: 30 p.m. Wednesday on the northbound
Highway 410, south of Derry Rd. in Mississauga.
Two passengers were transported to William Osler's Brampton Memorial
hospital with non life-threatening injuries, police said.
witnesses: of that accident are requested to contact the Ontario
Provincial Police's Port Credit detachment at 905-278-6131.

Crash kills 3 kids, mother
'She wasn't supposed to go,' 10-year-old's grieving aunt says
By Peter EDWARDS,
Staff
Reporter,
Page A1
Hamilton -- Ten-year-old Emily
PORTO loved to watch her cousin
Francesco play hockey, and begged to watch his game on Thursday
night, even though it would mean staying up a little late.
Emily's mother relented, and
so Emily went to 13-year-old Francesco's
elite-level game in Guelph with Francesco, his mother, Vivian
PORTO, 43, and his sister, 10-year-old Azzidene.
They were all killed in a two-vehicle collision around 10: 45
p.m. Thursday along a deadly stretch of Highway 6, north of Parkside
Dr.
Four people in a sport utility vehicle that collided with the
PORTO minivan suffered potentially life-threatening injuries.
Their identities have not been released, but they are a 40-year-old
Cambridge man, who was driving, and a 38-year-old Cambridge woman
and the man's 17-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter from Perth.
They are all in serious condition in area hospitals.
Police blame bad weather for the collision.
"She wasn't supposed to go," Emily's aunt Lisa
ULRICH said yesterday
in an interview at Emily's home. "Emily got very excited about
attending. She begged her mother to go. The cousins are very,
very close."
Hanging behind her in the family garage was a wall of sports
equipment for Emily and her family.
Their mother, Vivian, loved being a hockey mom, even though Francesco's
membership on the triple-A elite level minor bantam Hamilton
Junior Bulldogs meant several nights a week on the road.
When not caring for her four children -- including older boys
Amadeo and Riccardo, who also play hockey -- Vivian
PORTO ran
three fabric stores.
"There was never any doubt that her commitment was to the children,"
ULRICH said. "It was hockey, hockey, hockey. She was a hockey
mom."
Other family members were also devastated by the accident.
Emily's brother Gabriel, 3, still hadn't been told about her
death yesterday.
Emily and Gabriel were thrilled earlier this month when they
got to sit on the knee of Santa in a mall near their home, their
grandmother Diana
BORDONARO said.
BORDONARO stared at Emily's bicycle in disbelief, then said she
loved to show pictures of Emily and her wide, distinctive smile
to everyone she knew.
"She had a dimple on one cheek.... I bragged about her to everyone,"
her grandmother cried. "... I can't imagine this...
"I just took them to see Santa. It was wonderful."
BORDONARO said she doesn't know how to break the news to Gabriel,
who's excited about Christmas.
"He never called her Emily," she said. "It was 'sister'... She
became a little mother to him. She protected him."
Several people witnessed the accident near the intersection with
Highway 5, including other members of the Junior Bulldogs and
their parents.
Highway 6 has caught the attention of the regional coroner, Dr.
David EDEN.
"We're very concerned about this and we'll look at an inquiry,
but we're a long way from making that decision,"
EDEN said. "I
travel that road and it's a very busy stretch of road."
The 24-kilometre stretch of road linking Highways 403 and 401
has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early
1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north
and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to
block snow drifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
"The roads were generally good," said Ontario Provincial Police
Sgt. Cam WOOLLEY. "
However, during the evening winds had picked
up and there was blowing snow that had drifted along Highway
6. When (the victim's) van hit the snowdrift she lost control.
"She ended up in the northbound lanes sideways and into the path
of the Blazer. Both vehicles were believed to be doing the speed
limit of 80 km/h. So it was not survivable.
"The minivan was hit broadside and then pushed back into the
guardrail."
Hamilton
Jr.
Bulldogs president Frank
CASALE said he first heard
of the accident at 8 yesterday morning and immediately set out
to get grief counsellors for the team.
"I couldn't believe it,"
CASALE said. "We're all in shock. The
team, the coaches, the executives are all grieving. He (Francesco)
was a wonderful kid, a good hockey player."
Francesco's and Azzidene's dad and Vivian's husband, Sam, is
a trainer on another of their teams where he has another son
playing, CASALE said.
"I just don't know how he is coping with it all,"
CASALE said.
The funeral for all four
PORTO family members will be 10: 30 a.m.
Wednesday at Saint Margaret Mary Church. Funeral arrangements are
being handled by the Friscolanti Funeral Chapel.

Girl's gifts still sitting under tree
Two families devastated by deadly crash
Locals describe Highway 6 as 'Killer 6'
By Dana BORCEA and Meredith
MacLEOD, Torstar News Services, Hamilton
Spectator
Hamilton -- Emily
PORTO's
Christmas presents sat under the tree.
Her broken-hearted parents don't know what to do with them.
The 10-year-old girl was one of four family members killed in
a horrific car accident late Thursday night.
Emily's mother, Laurie, said she is overcome with grief, but
grateful for the outpouring of support her family has received
in the days following the tragedy.
"This reminds me what Christmas is all about," she said.
Emily's aunt, Vivian
PORTO, was driving the van carrying her
niece as well as two of her own children, Azzadine, 10, and Francesco,
13, back from a hockey game in Guelph when she hit a snowdrift
on Highway 6 and spun out of control before being broadsided
by an oncoming sport utility vehicle.
The highway is nicknamed "Killer 6" by some local residents.
The 24-kilometre stretch of road from Highway 403 to the 401
has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early
1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north
and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to
block snowdrifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
A high volume of traffic was also cited as a contributing factor
in the crash.
In response to Thursday night's accident, Dr. David
EDEN, the
regional coroner, said he is considering calling an inquest into
the safety of that stretch of Highway 6.
Police agree the highway can be hazardous.
"Highway 6 can be an unforgiving highway," said Sgt. Cam
WOOLLEY
of the Ontario Provincial Police highway safety division.
Flamborough
Councillor
Margaret
McCARTHY said the highway falls
under the jurisdiction of the province's ministry of transportation.
After hearing about the fatal crash, her office forwarded a request
to the ministry to erect snow fences along the highway.
McCARTHY said residents have expressed concerns about the highway
for years.
"It's a complicated piece of road," she said. "To suggest that
there is an easy fix would be negligent."
Gary MISNER, a Freelton resident who travels Highway 6 every
day, said the stretch where the
PORTOs were killed used to be
protected by a snow fence. He happened upon the accident minutes
after it happened and said the area was the only snow-covered
spot on Highway 6 that night. Strong winds had been blowing for
hours, MISNER said.
Sudden drifts on the road, combined with a looming stoplight,
make for a dangerous combination, he said.
MISNER said snow fences should be installed to prevent drifting
snow from piling up on the highway.
He also said the speed limit should be reduced to 70 km/h and
strictly enforced.
"There will be other big accidents along there,"
MISNER warned.
Emily's aunt, Lisa
ULRICH, estimated that close to 200 people
had come through the home to offer their condolences to both
families. She expects about 1,000 people to attend visitation
and funeral services early this week.
Among them will be members of Hamilton's Italian community, minor-hockey
families, and family colleagues from the textile, development
and hospital industries.
"They've been coming out in droves,"
ULRICH said on the weekend,
pointing to the line of parked cars spilling out of the driveway
and down the street.
"To have a quiet, empty house -- especially at this time of the
year -- would have made this even harder," she said.
On Saturday, family gathered at the home of Vivian's parents,
Anna and Adriano
SPALLACCI, with Father Bill
TRUSZ, a pastor
at Saint Margaret Mary Church.
"They prayed for those that died and for those who survived,"
said TRUSZ. "
They are deeply stricken and just taking it one
hour at a time."
Visitation for Vivian, Francesco, Azzadine and Emily
PORTO will
be held today and tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Friscolanti
Funeral Chapel on 43 Barton St. E., Hamilton.
The funeral for all four will be held at 10: 30 a.m. on Wednesday
at Saint Margaret Mary Church at 20 Idlewood Ave., Hamilton.
