Ottawa valley freezing rain warning. Please drive safely ! Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth

Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth…Please be careful out on the roads today and tomorrow..A winter storm watch for the Ottawa Valley has been upgraded to a freezing rain warning that is expected to drop up to 60 millimetres of rain on some communities over the next two days. The freezing rain warning is in effect for Bancroft – Hastings Highlands – Denbigh, Barry’s Bay – Killaloe and Petawawa – Pembroke – Cobden. Heavy rain is also expected with rainfall totals reaching 50 to 60 millimetres in some communities by tonight. Drivers are being warned about poor visibility and difficult driving conditions as a result. Meanwhile, a special weather statement has been issued for Ottawa and the surrounding area, predicting heavy rain from Belleville to Cornwall. The special weather statement forecasts 20 to 40 millimetres of rainfall across much of the region today.

Ottawa pedestrian accident Montreal road results in wrongful death.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Attorney David Hollingsworth — An Ottawa woman was sadly killed last night  when she was hit by a vehicle at Ottawa’s intersection of Montreal Road and Foxview Place at  7:30 p.m. Ottawa paramedics  transported the Ottawa accident victim to the Montfort Hospital, where tragically she was pronounced dead. The accident victim was crossing the street from the south side to the north side of Montreal Road when she was hit by an oncoming car.  It was reported by an observer that his  own car, a Toyota Corolla, likely blocked the view of the driver who hit the pedestrian, leaving the driver with little or no time to react. He also reported that it was too dark and happened very quickly and therefore difficult to get a good look at the Ottawa pedestrian. He was only able to say the pedestrian was wearing a red coat and a hat. Ottawa police are investigating  the Ottawa pedestrian accident. My thoughts go out to the friends and family of the deceased accident victim.

Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Tragic Kanata accident death of teenage girl, Serena Dang. Wrongful death

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth. Tragically, a 17-year-old girl died as the result of a Kanata accident near the OC Transpo park and ride on Eagleson Road this morning. Young 17 year old Serena Dang was tragically hit by a pickup truck at around 10:30 a.m. Sadly, the teenager sustained critical, life-threatening personal injuries and was taken to the Ottawa Hospital trauma centre at the civic campus and later died from her personal injuries. Ottawa police are not releasing the name of the victim at this time.  A Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. truck was parked in the right turn lane into the park and ride but it was not confirmed if  the  truck  hit the girl or not. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Serena Dang.  What a tragedy..

update…

Ottawa Accident Lawyer: Tailgating Test..do you do it ?

Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth, Personal Injury Lawyer…We all have places to go and we all want to get there as quickly as possible.  I understand .  Many Ottawa accidents occur as a result of tailgating. As an Ottawa injury lawyer, I am reminded too often of the dangers of tailgating.  
 
Did you know…

  • That following closely and tailgating is the cause of the majority of rear-end collision accidents – which also accounts for 1/3 of all Ottawa accidents.
  • Between 2005 and 2007, 13,333 Ottawa accidents occurred, which resulted in 4,237 personal injuries and 11 deaths.
  • Most Ottawa accidents occur during morning rush hour, between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, then slowly taper off. Increasing gradually to peak at evening rush hour (4:00 PM to 5:00 PM) then again taper off during evening hours. 
  • 72% of Ottawa accidents occur in clear, dry weather. 12% occur during rain,  and another 12% during snow or winter conditions. 
  • Approximately 1/2 of Ottawa accidents occur at an Ottawa intersection. 
  • Car accidents account for the majority of fatal accidents. 
  • Approximately 30% of personal injury related Ottawa accidents occur when a driver disobeyed a red light.
  • What is considered tailgating?

    What is a safe distance to travel behind other vehicles to avoid an Ottawa accident? Apply the two-second rule. It is the same method that is outlined in the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Driver’s Handbook. Use this test while driving.

    • Choose an object ahead of you on the road to use as a reference point– EX: road sign, pole or tree
    • Once the back-end of the vehicle ahead of you passes the reference point, start counting using steamboats.
    • Count how long it takes the front of your vehicle to reach the same reference point.
    • If it takes less than two seconds (or steamboats), you’re travelling too close and are risking an Ottawa accident.
      Important: In wet or slippery conditions, you should allow even more time. Allow yourself time to react and stop quickly and avoid an accident and serious personal injuries.
       
      … I came across this valuable information on the City of Ottawa’s website and thought I would share it with you. It make take a little extra time to get there, but avoiding an Ottawa accident and personal injuries….Please take your time and arrive safely…
