OTTAWA – When Diane Morin heard the sound of buckling metal from her home on Stagecoach Road on Friday morning, she knew there’d been a terrible crash.

She raced to the window and then outside, where she saw a woman sitting down on the lawn next to her Honda Civic, calling for help and for someone to please call her husband.

Morin raced back inside, getting a phone and blankets. A neighbour had already dialed 911.

After wrapping up the woman on the lawn to keep her warm she headed to a totalled white Chevy Silverado pickup truck. Inside the truck, she saw a man desperately trying to hold up the head of an unconscious woman in the passenger seat. The truck had been T-boned on the passenger side.

“He was with her and he kept saying, ‘Honey, talk to me. Talk to me.’ He was holding her.”

There was nothing he or Morin could do.

“I wrapped her in a blanket, too.”

The 31-year-old, Jennifer Sayer-Gaal, died at the scene, where firefighters and paramedics were unable to revive her.

As emergency responders tried to bring her back to life, her husband, who was badly injured, didn’t want to sit down.

“He just kept saying, ‘Take care of my wife, take care of my wife,’ and a paramedic said, ‘Well, you have to sit down.’”

He did, and asked Morin to hold his head until paramedics brought a neck brace.

The crash, which involved three vehicles, occurred at 8 a.m. on Stagecoach Road between Cabin Road and Snake Island Road in the city’s south end.

At the scene hours later, collisions investigator Const. Alain Boucher said the pickup truck had been heading south along Stagecoach when – for reasons unknown – it drifted into the northbound lane. The truck sideswiped a northbound Honda Civic, sending it and the woman inside into the ditch.

But the impact sent the truck into a spin, and it was T-boned by a northbound Toyota Sienna minivan.

The 32-year-old driver of the pickup truck – Sayer-Gaal’s husband, Aaron Gaal – was taken to hospital with serious head and back injuries. He was listed in serious but stable condition.

In the minivan, a 53-year-old woman in the passenger seat was treated for serious chest and back injuries, including fractured ribs and a partially collapsed lung, said paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier. She was also taken to hospital and listed in serious but stable condition. The 50-year-old man driving the minivan was treated for injuries to his back and one of his arms. He was taken to hospital in stable condition.

The lone 34-year-old woman travelling in the Civic was treated at the scene for minor injuries and didn’t need to be taken to hospital.

Stagecoach Road – about 30 kilometres south of downtown Ottawa, between Osgoode and Metcalfe – was closed for about five hours between Cabin and Snake Island roads and then reopened.
