As an Ottawa personal injury lawyer, I have a large number of my car accident victims come to me and describe their Ottawa car accident or Ontario car accident. In the last month, there have been an incredible number of Ottawa car accidents due the ice conditions here in Ottawa and in Eastern Ontario. I want to remind everyone the dangers of icy roads and black ice while driving and hopefully avoid any further Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents as well as reduce the number of Ottawa accidents and Ontario accidents resulting in personal injury. When Ontario roads are slick with ice, please be extra cautious to avoid car accidents and personal injury. Unfortunately black ice is very difficult to see and can result in serious personal injury or even death due to a car accident.”
When people can’t see the ice, they think it’s not there…but IT CAN BE !!! “Most accident victims don’t notice the ice on the road until it is too late,” says Ottawa personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth. “You have to automatically assume that if there is a chill in the air, there will likely be ice, SO please… slow down and avoid a car accident.” I know a lot of this seems obvious and maybe even repetitive. It never hurts to remind everyone to slow it down because goodness knows we are all always rushing around from one thing to the next…

My thoughts and sympathies go out to the friends and family of Dragan Popovic..Thank goodness that the mother and the 3 children in the other vehicle are recovering….
OTTAWA — Police have released the name of the Ottawa man who died when he lost control of his Aston Martin and collided head-on with a minivan on the West Hunt Club Road bridge over the Rideau River on Tuesday.
Ottawa police said Dragan Popovic, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, which occurred at about 12:10 p.m.
Police said their investigation so far has determined that the Aston Martin driven by Popovic turned right onto Hunt Club Road from Prince of Wales Drive, headed east.
Popovic is believed to have lost control of the car, which crossed the median into the westbound lane, police said.
A Dodge Caravan traveling west into the left turn lane collided with the skidding vehicle, according to police. The driver of the minivan, a 32-year-old woman, suffered a broken leg and chest injuries and was transported to hospital in serious, but stable condition.
The minivan also had three child passengers, who were transported to CHEO.
A four-year-old girl was treated for an injury to her pelvis and other cuts and bruises, and was taken to hospital in serious, but stable condition, according to paramedics. A girl, less than a month old, and a two-year-old boy suffered no injuries, but were taken to hospital as a precaution.
According to paramedics, all three children were properly secured in their child seats.
The bridge was closed in both directions for several hours as collision investigators examined the wreck.
The investigation is ongoing. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor at this time, police said.
