Hit-and-run victim popular
Michael Salentyn was due to graduate from Western in June with
a degree in aviation.
By Peter GEIGEN-
MILLER, Free Press Reporter, Fri., April 14,
A 23-year-old man, struck and fatally injured in London by a
hit-and-run driver this week, had just completed a four-year
commercial aviation training program and was heading for a career
as a pilot.
Michael SALENTYN of Grand Bend was on his way to achieving his
lifetime dream.
He'd just finished four years of classroom and flight training
in the University of Western Ontario's commercial aviation management
program and was to receive his degree at convocation in June.
The death of the popular, dedicated and fun-loving student has
hit people hard in University of Western Ontario's close-knit
aviation program, leaving classmates in tears, said Keith
FLEMING/FLEMMING,
director of Western's commercial and administrative studies program.
"It's a horrific loss," said
FLEMING/FLEMMING. "It has really affected
people deeply."
SALENTYN was a highly accomplished student who excelled in a
rigorous program that requires students to carry a full academic
load and complete flight training.
"He was very strong academically and he excelled at the flight
training,"
FLEMING/FLEMMING said. "He had to satisfy not just the university,
but also Transport Canada."
SALENTYN is remembered as a bright, pleasing, gregarious and
happy individual.
"I never encountered him in the hall when he didn't have a big
smile on his face," said
FLEMING/FLEMMING. "He clearly was in his element
entirely and was doing what he wanted to do. He loved aviation."
SALENTYN had concern for others and took an interest in students
in earlier years of the aviation program,
FLEMING/FLEMMING said.
"I have many accounts of his caring way and how he was always
looking out for others. He was watchful and considerate of others,
a real leader."
SALENTYN was out with Friends when struck early Tuesday by a
vehicle that failed to stop. He died later that day in hospital.
The hit-and-run occurred at Castlegrove Boulevard and Walmer
Gardens in northwest London in a popular living area for Western
students.
London police located the suspected vehicle several hours later
a short distance away.
Oscar MARROQUIN-
PONCE, 23, of Castlegrove Boulevard, was charged
with leaving the scene of an accident.
A memorial fund is being created in
SALENTYN's memory. The money
will create a bursary to support a student in the University
of Western Ontario aviation program.
Donations can be arranged through the Hopper Hockey Funeral Home
in Exeter, phone (519) 235-1220, or can be sent to Foundation
Western, Room 11, Alumni Hall, University of Western Ontario,
London, N6A 5B9.
Cheque donations should be made payable to Foundation Western
and should mention
SALENTYN.

Hit-and-run ended party
A University of Western Ontario student walking home from an
end-of-year party was struck and killed.
By Jane SIMS, Free Press Justice Reporter, Thurs., December 7,
It was supposed to be a day of celebration for Michael
SALENTYN.
Instead, last April 11 was a day of tragedy and loss.
SALENTYN, 23, had just finished the commercial aviation management
program at the University of Western Ontario. He'd accomplished
his dream of becoming a pilot and was chosen to be the class
valedictorian in June.
But while he was celebrating with Friends, a life of promise
was cut short in a hit-and-run.
Yesterday, 23-year-old Oscar
MARROQUIN-
PONCE pleaded guilty to
failing to stop for an accident causing death.
Assistant
Crown attorney Peter
ROLLINGS outlined the case for
Ontario
Court
Justice Kathleen
McGOWAN.
ROLLINGS said
SALENTYN and his Friends had been at a party on
Western
Road, playing a drinking game and that
SALENTYN consumed
a lot of beer.
From samples taken later, his blood/alcohol level was measured
at 172 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, more
than double the legal limit for driving.
The group left the party on foot about 2 a.m. On Walmer Gardens
near Castlegrove Boulevard, they were playing "kick the can"
with a plastic juice bottle. One of
SALENTYN's
Friends kicked
the bottle onto Castlegrove.
SALENTYN was the only one who didn't see the car coming and went
onto the road.
MARROQUIN-
PONCE was returning home from working at the downtown
Martini Bar. He had been drinking.
Earlier, he had played "kick the can" outside Jack's Bar on Richmond
Street and had been dancing at the Martini Bar before leaving.
Friends said
MARROQUIN-
PONCE was considered "a responsible drinker,often"
acting as a designated driver or not driving at all if he believed
he'd drank too much.
A witness said he saw
MARROQUIN-
PONCE at the Martini Bar about
1: 30 a.m. and he didn't appear intoxicated.
MARROQUIN-
PONCE was driving his parents' car toward his house
on Castlegrove when
SALENTYN was struck.
witnesses: said the car braked, but didn't fully stop before it
left quickly. Police found no skid marks.
SALENTYN died in hospital the next day of head trauma.
Police found the car at
MARROQUIN-
PONCE's home about 5 a.m. with
the driver's side mirror smashed and windshield broken and caved
in. There was glass on the hood and a trace of red on the bumper.
MARROQUIN-
PONCE told police
SALENTYN "came out of nowhere, he
ran in front of me. I had no chance."
He said he slowed down but was scared and went home.
When interviewed, police said,
MARROQUIN-
PONCE was near tears.
There was no sign of impairment. He admitted to drinking two
martinis but said he stopped drinking by 11 p.m.
His sisters told police
MARROQUIN-
PONCE came home crying and
talked on the phone to his parents, who were in British Columbia
He said he hit someone and planned to go to the police the next
day.
Experts pegged the car travelling at about 58 km/h before the
crash.
MARROQUIN-
PONCE is to be sentenced February 16.

Rash of fatals plagues area
A woman killed in Oxford County is the latest victim.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., December 13, 2006
Another driver was killed yesterday on an Oxford County road,
one of several deaths in the region over the past week.
It's unlikely weather played a role in the collision between
a car and minivan on Highway 19, near Tillsonburg, about 10: 30 a.m.
yesterday, police said.
"It was clear and dry at the time," Oxford Ontario Provincial
Police Const. Dennis Harwood said.
Both drivers were removed from their vehicles by firefighters,
police said, and the woman driving the car died at the scene.
Her name wasn't released, pending family notification, police
said.
The minivan's driver, Marilyn
CLARKSON, 43, of Tillsonburg was
flown to Victoria Hospital in London with undisclosed injuries.
Her two passengers, Stephanie
CLARKSON, the driver's 18-year-old
daughter, and Jason
SCOTT, 21, of Tillsonburg, were treated and
released.
Oxford County's rash of bad crashes started last Thursday when
two 20-vehicle pileups occurred -- almost simultaneously -- on
separate sides of the Highway 401 near Woodstock. Eight people
were hospitalized, including one with critical injuries.
A 49-year-old Aylmer man died the next day while a 15-year-old
girl was killed in a rollover Saturday near Norwich.
There was also a pair of crashes Sunday: Stanley
PONTING, 81,
was killed in a collision near Norwich that sent four others
to Tillsonburg hospital.
Hours later, a 73-year-old woman suffered critical injuries in
a crash at Norwich and Base Line roads. The woman, who hasn't
been identified, remained in critical condition yesterday, police
said.
While he didn't comment on the causes of those crashes, Harwood
offered a warning to others hitting the road this winter.
"Driving is a full-time responsibility," he said. "People need
to concentrate on their driving whether it's good weather or
bad weather."
