Dad, 2 daughters killed in collision
By Debora VAN
BRENK, Daniela
SIMUNAC, April
KEMICK and Kate
DUBINSKI,
Free Press Reporters, Wed. May 31, 2006
A London man and his two daughters were killed Monday in a head-on
collision so violent police weren't sure at first how many people
had died.
John DAUBS, 49, and daughters, Ashley, 15, and
Stephanie, 12,
died when their car was crushed beneath a flatbed towed by a
dump truck on Clarke Road near Kilally Road in the city's northeast.
Police are investigating whether the collision was intentional,
mechanical or accidental, London police Const. Amanda
PFEFFER
said.
"It really is indescribable."
As word of the deaths spread at Clarke Road secondary school,
where Ashley was in Grade 9, students there were overwhelmed
with grief, said friend Taylor
WAREHAM.
"People who knew (Ashley) were really upset and confused," said
WAREHAM, who was on the track and field team with the popular
student.
"There were so many people crying in the hallways. (Ashley) was
such a happy outgoing girl," said Jordan
CLAYTON, 15, a friend
who laid flowers at the crash scene last night.
Friends described the 15-year-old track star as funny, athletic
and outgoing, well-liked by peers.
Her younger sister, Stephanie, who was in Grade 7 at Bonaventure
Meadows elementary school, was remembered by those who knew her
as a smart, friendly, athletic girl with lots of Friends.
"She was always happy," said Murtaza
REZAZADA, in Stephanie's
class last year.
Carolyn WEBB, a retired Bonaventure kindergarten teacher who
taught both girls and stayed in touch with the family, said the
pair were "wonderful, loveable girls."
WEBB said John and his wife
Debbie had recently separated, but
the family remained tight.
"The parents were so dedicated to those girls -- they did everything
for them,"
WEBB said, wiping her eyes.
"This is so devastating."
John's sister, Diane
HALES, said last night the family was shocked
to hear of the triple fatality early yesterday.
HALES said John was a "doting" dad who was a regular at the girls'
many athletic and musical events.
"(John) was a proud father," she said, adding the two girls were
"inseparable."
Those who knew John at the trailer park where he had lived and
worked as manager for the last 10 years agreed.
"As a dad, he was always there for them," said Jim
ANDREW, owner
of the London Terrace trailer park on Dundas Street.
"John was very involved."
Overnight and into yesterday, a blue tarp covered the Chevy Citation,
flattened by the dump truck.
Yesterday, about 12 London police officers walked shoulder to
shoulder examining the road for evidence.
Another 10 blue-gloved officers scoured the ditches and the road
edge, searched for clues that might explain why the northbound
car slammed into the southbound truck.
The vehicles -- car, dump truck and a backhoe still secured to
the truck's flatbed -- were pulled from the scene, but the road
wasn't re-opened until yesterday, allowing police to investigate.
Police have interviewed the truck driver, who suffered minor
injuries in the crash.
A dog in the car died yesterday.
Police ask any witnesses: to the crash to call 661-5670.

Falling trees kill two in fierce storm
By Staff and News Services, Wed., July 19, 2006
A mother of three crushed by a tree as she slept next to her
husband and children was one of two people killed in a vicious
storm that knifed through Ontario and into Quebec late Monday,
cutting power to about a quarter of a million people and causing
tens of millions of dollars worth of damage, authorities said
yesterday.
The fierce storm, which packed ferocious winds, lashing rain
and intense lightning, smashed windows, barns and sheds, peeled
off roofs, destroyed trees, closed highways and downed scores
of hydro poles.
"It sounded just like a freight train," said Don
COTTON of Manitoulin
Island, where about 30,000 people were blacked out.
"(It) lasted for maybe two minutes and the noise stopped."
In Ontario, about 90,000 customers were still without power last
night, down from 170,000 people in the morning.
About 70,000 Quebecers were in the same straits as of noon.
Hydro
One spokesperson Daffyd
RODERICK said power probably wouldn't
be restored to the hardest-hit areas, such as Newmarket, Peterborough,
Sudbury and North Bay, until tomorrow.
Amid the destruction and spotty phone service, the mayors of
West Nipissing, Callander and Mattawa, about five hours north
of Toronto, all declared states of emergency.
Farther east, at a conservation area near Peterborough in central
Ontario, the intense fast-moving storm brought tragedy to a family
of campers from Guelph.
As the storm approached the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area, Louise
CLAYTON, 42, whisked her three children, aged eight, 10, and
12, from a tent they were in to sleep with her and her husband,
John, in their soft-top tent trailer, said Ontario Provincial
Police
Const.
Iain
McEWAN.
"Some time around 11 o'clock, the husband said he was awakened
by a loud bang and the canvas collapsed around him," said
McEWAN.
"He called for his wife (and) he was unable to get a response."
Unable to find her, John
CLAYTON rushed with the children to
a nearby home to alert emergency officials, who found his wife
crushed under an uprooted poplar tree.
Ontario Provincial Police also blamed the storm for the death
of Jeff GRAY/GREY, 26, of Michigan, who was killed when a tree fell
on his tent in Algonquin Provincial Park.
A second person in the tent, Aaron
LEBOVICK, 19, also of Michigan,
suffered serious injuries.
In Southwestern Ontario, some residents may be without power
for another couple of days, Hydro One officials said.
In Perth County, police responded to 15 calls as a result of
fallen trees and power lines blocking roads.
A car and a pickup truck struck trees on the road, leaving one
driver with minor injuries.

Eerie storm scenario takes two lives
Death followed woman to second park
By Curtis RUSH,
Staff
Reporter with files from Canadian Press
Cristina CLAYTON and her family had left the Sandbanks Provincial
Park near Picton, Ontario, when they learned a 4-month-old Orangeville
boy had been struck by a fallen tree and killed on Sunday.
One day later, in a creepy and cruel twist of fate, the Guelph
mother herself would be killed by a toppled tree at another provincial
campsite, this one 30 minutes northeast of Peterborough.
The flash storm late Monday night swept through Greater Toronto
and parts of southern Ontario, leaving destruction in its wake.
In Callander and Mattawa, the storm was so destructive, the mayors
declared states of emergency.
The coincidence of Cristina's death, one day after the baby's
death under similar circumstances, wasn't lost on the
CLAYTON
family.
"They had just come from the site where the baby had been killed,"
said an incredulous family member Cheryl
WILLIAMS through tears.
"They were one week at Sandbanks. It was a devastating thing.
You think camping is a safe activity, but with all these freak
storms coming up, you just never know."
The CLAYTONs had been avid campers, travelling from their Guelph
home every summer to give their three children a full camping
experience at Ontario's provincial parks.
"They did everything together. Every year, they camped,"
WILLIAMS
said.
On a two-week excursion, the
CLAYTONs had camped for a week at
Sandbanks Provincial Park and had set up their tents at the Warsaw
Caves Conservation area, just north of the Village of Warsaw
in Douro-Dummer Township.
That visit was tragically cut short Monday night when a violent
thunderstorm whipped up just before 11 p.m. and toppled a massive
tree onto the family's tent trailer, killing Cristina instantly.
She was one of two people killed by thunderstorms that lashed
the province Monday night.
Ontario Provincial Police also blamed a tree felled by the storm
for the death of Jeff
GRAY/GREY, 26, of Michigan, who had been in
a tent in Algonquin Provincial Park, south of Kiosk, Ontario
GRAY/GREY was director of Camp Kennedy, an adventure camp for young
people who were on a canoe trip.
A second person in the tent, Aaron
LEBOVICK, 19, also of Michigan,
was airlifted with serious injuries to North Bay District Hospital
and transferred to Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
These kinds of accidents, like the one that killed the mother
of three, are hard to prevent, the Ontario Provincial Police
say.
"Someone asked me, 'How do you protect yourself from this?' and
the truth is we can't recommend anything. It was really a freak,"
said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Iain
McEWAN.
John, the victim's 42-year-old husband, had tried valiantly to
save her life.
When the storm hit suddenly, it sent the tree crashing down on
the tent trailer. John kicked out the back of the trailer to
escape, pulling 9-year-old Jordan with him. He then crawled beneath
the trailer to get 10-year-old Vanessa and 12-year-old Justine.
He called out for Cristina, but got no response.
"He couldn't get her because the tree was on top of the trailer,"
said John's sister, Cheryl
WILLIAMS.
Her distraught husband was able to say only that "I loved her
very much," before breaking down in tears.
At one point, more than 170,000 residents across Ontario were
without power yesterday throughout northern and central Ontario
and east into western Quebec.
By late afternoon, 90,000 customers remained without power and
Hydro One, responsible for transmission lines, was warning people
that those in the hardest-hit areas, including North Bay, New
Liskeard, Sudbury, Manitoulin Island, Peterborough and Newmarket,
could be without power for three days due to the size of the
storm path and the widespread damage.
High winds felled hundreds of trees, while lightning damaged
hydro lines and poles.
"It's a tangled mess out there," said Daffyd
RODERICK of Hydro
One.
In York Region, the severe thunderstorm forced the closing of
Woodbine Ave. between Davis Dr. and Green Lane in Newmarket because
of a downed power line that fell across Woodbine Ave.
The damaged line was the primary cause for the power outage that
struck the northern part of York Region late Monday and early
Tuesday.
The Ontario Provincial Police also warned motorists the traffic
lights at Highway 9 and Highway 400 northbound will be out for
a few days.
Environment Canada's forecast says that more thunderstorm activity
could return tomorrow, when the Toronto area could see temperatures
near 31°C and rising humidity, too.
