Driver arrested after collision on Woodroffe
Man charged with failing to stop at an accident causing death
Gordon William Davis was charged with failing to stop at an accident causing death after a fatal collision with a motorcyclist on Woodroffe Avenue.
The driver was sought by investigators after leaving the scene early Thursday morning.
Const. J.P Vincelette said the 56-year-old phoned Ottawa Police that evening and identified himself.
The 44-year-old motorcycle rider suffered a fatal head injury at the intersection of Woodroffe Avenue and Richmond Rd at approximately 5:20 a.m. on April 16. He passed away from his injuries around 10 a.m. Davis had been driving a tan-coloured Buick Century that Ottawa Police said is likely to have front-end damage.
Davis was held for a show cause hearing and appeared in court on Friday morning.
Failing to stop at the scene of an accident is an indictable offence and could carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
No other charges have been laid at this time.
“The investigation is ongoing,” Vincelette said.

As a father of three kids, all still in car seats, I found this information extremely useful and thought I’d pass it on. I found it on a related law blog prepared by HG Farber, a lawyer in Seattle. He has an excellent blog full of valuable personal injury information. I encourage you to check it out…Let’s keep our kids safe. -David
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an independent and non-profit, scientific and education organization which is dedicated to reducing deaths, personal injuries and property damage in accidents reports that 13 of the 41 child booster seats they examined could not be recommended. I find this shocking !!
I was shocked to read that booster seats for children ages 4 to 7 years old only reduce personal injury risk by 59% over seat belts alone. As reported by a study by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Booster seats are designed to elevate young children so that seat belts are positioned correctly and therefore will ensure safety. The IIHS evaluated booster seats for safety. They look at things such as safety in crash tests, the position of the seatbelt and other very important safety factors.
The Institute recommends these 10 best booster seats:
- Volvo booster cushion
- Recaro Young Style
- Graco TurboBooster
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- Combi Kobuk
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- Britax Parkway
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- LaRoche Bros. Teddy Bear
- Safeguard Go
- Britax Monarch
10 not recommended booster seats include:
- Safety Angel Ride Ryte backless
- Cosco/Dorel Traveler
- Cosco/Dorel (Eddie Bauer) Summit
- Graco CarGo Zephyr
- Evenflo Big Kid Confidence
- Evenflo Generations
- Compass B505
- Compass B510
- Dorel/Safety 1st (Eddie Bauer) Prospect
- Cosco Highback Booster
- Cosco/Dorel Alpha Omega
- Evenflo Chase Comfort Touch
- Safety 1st/Dorel Intera
Our children are everything ! Keep them safe !

My thoughts and sympathy go out to the Smith family today….Tragically, Lori Lee Smith, 49, of Skootamatta Lake Road, died in an accident Tuesday morning north of Kaladar. She was travelling southbound on Highway 41 just south of Cloyne, when she experienced difficulty navigating the road and sadly struck a van head-on.
The 55-year-old driver of the cube van, who was from Ottawa, was taken by land ambulance to Kingston General Hospital and treated for head injuries. I hope this man recovers fully from this terrible Kingston accident…

My heart goes out to the family of this young man. He was 19 years old with a full life ahead of him. What a tragic accident.
Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer David Hollingsworth— The Ottawa Citizen reported that Ontario’s Ministry of Labour is investigating the tragic death of a 19-year-old man who was crushed between two pieces of heavy equipment Wednesday while on the job, working at a new Kanata housing development.
The young man was distributing pay slips to fellow Colautti Construction Ltd. employees at 7:30 a.m. when he was caught between a large excavator and a backhoe, the labour ministry said. Regrettably, a coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. An employee at the site said the man was new on the job, but had worked for the company for a period last summer. Employees at the construction site, at Kanata Avenue and Keyrock Drive near Richardson Side Road, took off their hard hats as the man’s body was lifted into a black van and driven away as a sign of respect.
