May 14, 2025
A recent string of incidents on Ottawa’s roadways has led to life-changing consequences. In some cases, those mistakes ended up being fatal. The latest tragic outcome happened yesterday in Orleans, as a vehicle reportedly jumped the curb and struck two pedestrians. One of them has sadly passed away, while the other is facing life-threatening injuries. We have a conversation about road safety with Lewis Smith, who is the Manager of National Projects at Canada Safety Council.
