Ottawa accident leaves woman in critical condition: Ottawa police need our help.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth …Ottawa Police need our help.  They are looking  for any witnesses to help in their investigation of an Ottawa accident  on Woodroffe avenue that left a pedestrian woman with critical injuries at the corner of Woodroffe Avenue and Iris Street during yesterday’s afternoon’s rush hour.

The 40-year-old woman remains in an Ottawa hospital in critical condition as a result of being struck and pinned beneath the City of Ottawa snow plow. Ottawa Police are trying to figure out how the terrible Ottawa accident happened and are looking for any help they can get. Ottawa paramedics said the woman suffered serious critical injuries, which included internal injuries and broken legs. She never regained consciousness between the time they treated her and when they rushed her to got her to the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus.

A passerby at the scene of the Ottawa accident called 911 and was instrumental in stopping traffic once she realised the woman was caught between the wheels of the  City of Ottawa’s salt truck.  As she came to the Ottawa accident scene , she noticed the driver was crouched down beside the injured woman, while another passerby came and stayed with the woman, holding her until Ottawa emergency crews arrived at the scene of the Ottawa accident.

My thoughts are with this woman and her family.  If you have any information at all that relates to this terrible Ottawa accident, please contact the Ottawa police .

Ottawa and eastern Ontario freezing rain : Tips for driving in icy conditions, Ottawa lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers, Ottawa Accident Lawyer…Listen up Ottawa ! A freezing rain warning issued by Environment Canada for Ottawa and parts of Eastern Ontario is expected to continue throughout tonight and into the morning. The freezing rain has contributed to over 50 reported car accidents in Ottawa today and is suspected to be a contributing factor to a serious accident on highway 401 this morning that partially closed highway 401 for close to 9 hours,  near Kingston. Leaving over 100 cars stuck for hours.

Many school boards have closed cancelled their busses. The Upper Canada District School Board cancelled all buses but schools remained open. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario also cancelled all buses.

Ontario Provincial Police , Ottawa police and I are warning commuters to drive slowly on the icy roads in eastern Ontario. As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I also want to caution pedestrians to be careful while walking on Ottawa’s roads and sidewalks.  Cars may not be able to stop .Please keep your head up and be extra vigilant. Drivers need to also be aware that the sidewalks and roads are slippery and consequently be a lot more aware of pedestrians. The following are a few driving safety tips for driving in icy conditions.

  • If your car begins to slide on black ice, take your foot off the gas pedal. The last thing you want to do is give your car more gas. Slow down when you are driving on ice or in any winter conditions.
  • Don’t slam the brakes. Yes, it may be a natural instinct to slam on the brakes; however this will cause your vehicle to lose control and continue sliding. Pump your brake pedal gently instead of pushing down hard.
  • Look for dangerous trouble spots ahead. If you suspect that there is ice ahead, downshift to a lower gear before you hit the ice. The lower gear will allow you to drive more slowly and allow for better control of your vehicle.

    Kanata Accident : Ottawa weather and icy roads results in serious personal injury.

    Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth.. Wow, it was absolutely freezing out there today in Ottawa and the ice on Ottawa’s roads was deceiving.  Ottawa’s icy roads caused three Kanata accidents within 15 minutes today. One of the Kanata accidents involved a driver being extricated from his vehicle after an accident with a snow plow at the intersection of Campeau Drive and March Road this morning. Ottawa Firefighters responded to the accident at 10:31 a.m., by removing the passenger’s car door to access the driver who was treated for serious personal injury and transported to an Ottawa hospital by Ottawa paramedics. The driver of the plow did not appear to be injured.

    Ottawa Fire crews also responded to 2 other Kanata accidents this morning. A 3 vehicle accident at the intersection of Robertson Road and Eagleson Road seriously injured one male driver and he was treated and transported to an Ottawa hospital by Ottawa paramedics. One of the three vehicles in the crash was a police car, but thankfully the officer did appear to suffer personal injury. The third Ottawa accident involved a minivan and a passenger car crashed on Hazeldean Road near Young Road in Katimavik around the same time, but thankfully there was no personal injury.

    Please take care out there on our Ottawa roads. Take extra care when driving during this cold winter weather. Cold temperatures create black ice conditions and icy roads that often don’t look slippery. Drive safely.
