Storm topples tree on woman
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN and Kate
DUBINSKI, Free Press Reporters,
Fri., October 13, 2006
Filomena PALMEIRI shelters herself with a blanket from a howling
snow squall yesterday. She was watching her son's football team
from Mother Teresa high school battling the Saint Thomas Aquinas
high school team at Aquinas's field in London. (Dave
CHIDLEY,
The London Free Press)
Yesterday's unexpected snowsqualls and wind gusts broke a large
tree that fell on and seriously injured an elderly woman.
It was just one of many calls paramedics faced yesterday because
of slick roads and weather-related injuries.
The elderly woman was walking along Central Avenue near Wellington
Street when the tree fell.
"She sustained extensive internal injuries," said Middlesex-London
Emergency
Medical
Services duty manager Chris
DARBY.
"She was not trapped under the tree, but she was under a branch.
Paramedics were able to immobilize her and treat her before transporting
her" to hospital.
The woman was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time,"
DARBY said.
Accidents occurred throughout the day, including one at Adelaide
and Oxford streets, where a vehicle crashed into a former bank
building, DARBY said.
The injuries in that crash were not serious.
A car crash southeast of London that claimed the life of a 27-year-old
Langton woman also was blamed on slick and snow-covered roads.
Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police said the driver of a
minivan that slid into oncoming traffic on Concession Road 2
in the former Houghton Township near Tillsonburg died from her
injuries.
Jaclyn SZALKAI, 27, of Langton, was pronounced dead in a Tillsonburg
hospital after the 2 p.m. crash. Ontario Provincial Police said
snow and slush-covered roads contributed to the crash.
Another crash south of London sent a minivan driver to hospital
with minor injuries. The driver in that crash T-boned a dump
truck, which slid into the opposite lane of traffic.
The truck driver steered his vehicle back into the southbound
lane of Highbury Avenue near Westminster Drive and wasn't injured.
He was on his way home because he'd been told Highway 401 was
too slick to work on.
The fall blast of snow caused havoc elsewhere in London yesterday.
Blinded by the snow, University of Western Ontario students,
many in T-shirts, raced for the nearest cover.
The first squall dismayed students taking part in a Bike for
A.I.D.S. bike-athon outside Western's University Community Centre.
"Oh no, this was not supposed to happen," groaned organizer Samantha
ROBERTSON, holding an arm over her face to block the wind as
balloons danced behind her and jugs holding donations tipped
over.
"What the hell is going on?" shrieked a woman, head down as she
plowed through a white wall of snow.
"Um, Okay folks, we are just going to break for a few minutes
here and reassess the situation," announced the lead singer of
a band that had been playing on a stage.
While organizers did so, students ran in all directions, often
bumping into one another in the scramble.
But not even wintry weather could break the spirit of the 150 people
participating in the bike-athon, designed to raise money to buy
bikes for workers with African A.I.D.S. agencies.
"Well, I guess it's a tradition," Jackie
STRECKER said. "The
first year we ran it in April and it snowed, so this year we
moved it to October, and look at this."
Though the snow may have come as a surprise to most people, it
isn't really out of the ordinary, an Environment Canada meteorologist
said.
"This time of year, the air masses travel across the Great Lakes….
You're warm, then the next day you're cold. That's the way it
goes," Andre Cyr said.
Yesterday's snowsqualls came to southern Ontario after crossing
Lake Michigan and tossed about one centimetre of snow onto London.
That's far from the record, said Cyr, citing a 6.8-centimetre
dump on October 12, 1988.
Flurries are expected to return tonight when the low dips to
-2°C. Highs for the next few days will be in the high single
digits, well below the normal high for this time of year of 14.9°C.
Analynda MIELKE and Bill
CHERNIAK of University of Western Ontario's
Triathlon Club were at the bottom of a hill when the snow hit.
"It was really, really intense," said
MIELKE, her face wet.
Though wacky weather may have cut into on-site donations for
the event, organizers of the bikeathon still hoped to reach their
$10,000 goal,
STRECKER said. Each of 14 teams paid $200 to take
part and a charity party was planned for last night.
Last year the event raised $7,500, which bought about 32 bikes
to be sent to A.I.D.S. workers in Africa.
