Another sign of growing lack
Another sign of growing lack of infrastucture the city traffic lights are an engineering joke there should be no advance arrows for turning left because sometimes they work and most of the time not.Its not Pasqua st its the Lewvan
expressway for gods sake put in some speed cameras on that stretch of pasqua
my condolenses to the family of this unfortunate soul
re: the traffic lights at pasqua and sherwood
I agree the lights are a bloody joke, during rush hour there are no turning lights for all traffic, the lights are way to short on the green, people speed down pasqua to beat all the light, my friend jeremy was killed last night and it could've been easily avoided, damn u regina and ur pathetic engineering of the traffic lights, there should already be a fatality signed posted at that intersection for a reminder for people to slow down and be cautious, at at that intersection the last 2 weeks there has been 2 incidents where there were accidents, i know because i reside on edward st and hear sirens almost every night! What a tragedy, What a tragedy!
I am replying to this
I am replying to this message only because my heart goes out to you as well as anyone who knew Jeremy. This is the first time I have heard his name and to me this gives me the name of the young man of whom I held if his last moments. I watched the entire event and tried my best to be his comfort. I don't want to comment on how I saw the accident happen, or who I feel is to blame. All I can say is this accident could have been prevented. Yes the traffic situation is extremely congested and people take chances every day. If in this situation both parties involved would have done things differently this accident would not have happened. I will never forget you Jeremy, and I would love to meet your loving family and friends to tell you about how hard the few good people who tried their very best to get him to hold on. Bless you and your family in this horrible time. Maybe I will see you during Jeremy celebration of his life.
Jeremy
I am replying to Kelly who was there with Jeremy at the accident on nov. the 9th. Thank you so much for coming forward. Jeremy was my friend. I know his family, and i feel the need to say something on behalf of them for they are not going on these news sites due to the inconsiderate photos the media posted. If you could please come to his memorial at 10:00 am this Friday morning i'm sure that your attendance would be appreciated by his family. Knowing that you took the time to give jeremy comfort is the kindest thing and most selfless act that a human can do. Reading your comment has me filled with tears of releif for him, to know that he wasn't alone.... His last moments are all a mystery to his family and friends. We are all left with so many unanswered questions and everyone is shocked. If you could at all help fill in the missing peices of the puzzle to his mother, you would be doing a great service to her! It's such a tragedy to have lost someone so sweet. Let me tell you a bit about Jeremy... He was shy untill you got to know him. He was always smiling a mischievious smile, and usually had something mischevious planned to say. He was polite, and happy, and very considerate.He was an honours student in high school, and he most importantly had a good heart. Jeremy and was a good guy. A friend who shouldn't have had to been alone in those last moments. God bless you Kelly. It is very hard to read these news stories and see the distasteful pictures that somehow the media found ethical to post. There was no need to show Jeremy lying there. The insensitivity of the media has resulted in a number of friends and family of Jeremy having to see him in a way that was very disturbing. I myself am one of those people who knew him and now gets to have those pictures haunt me. His family needs to be able to heal. Photo's like that are devastating and do not help matters. Anything for ratings though right? Could the media have not thought of his mother?!!!!
My simpathy to the family
I haven't checked this site for a while and just today noticed that you replied to me. Cora is your name right. Well I am so happy to see a comment by someone who really knew Jeremy. I really liked reading the information you wrote about his personality, I feel like I know him more now. I did attend the memorial service on last Friday, but because I really didn't know anyone I felt like I would pay my respects and then I left. I didn't think it would have been the time or the place to discuss Jeremy's last moments with his parents. I would love to meet and talk to his parents though. Maybe have a coffee with them or something. I commented on the legacy book online connected to his obituary. If the parents wanted to contact me they could get my e-mail from there. I am also concerned about why they have not closed the investigation on this accident. I have heard that the police feel that there may have been another vehicle involved. They have not tried to contact me to elaborate on my police report, but are asking for more witnesses to come forward. I hate to tell the parents the questions that I have about the night of the accident, but I guess they should know.
Take care
Kelly
city traffic lights
More cameras would be nice. In this case there seems to be no witness
so the cameras would be very useful.
News company photos distasteful.
I am writing in regards to this story and many other stories where the media posts pictures of such traumatic events. How distasteful it is to post pictures of situations like this, where the person involved in a fatality is displayed in pictures pertaining to the story.
I can only sympathize with families that have lost a loved one to an event like this, or any other event where they may have lost a loved one, only to have to see that loved one in horrific pictures. Can they not take their photos after the victim has been removed, or somehow tastefully post pictures that don't include the victim. I am sure the news is bad enough, someone shows up at your door to tell you that your loved one has died, and the next day while going to the store for example, that picture is displayed on the news rack.
I am in no way declaring that CJME has anything to do with this, as I have not seen it on their website. But other media outlets don't seem to think of the family involved, as long as they get their ratings.
Show a little compassion, maybe some heart. God only knows I don't want this happening to me.
Jeremy
Jeremy will be missed, the world is a better place because of him.
I do disagree with showing pictures of Jeremy on the news and on the
Leaderpost web sight. I guess a lot of people don't understands how it feels
but trust me it make you feel like you have been kicked in the guts over and over.
This is a very hard time for the whole family.
The whole family is asking anyone who saw anything to call the police.
We don't understand why someone has not stepped up and said anything.Kelly you said
you were there. Did you step up and talk to the police? If not why not????
I did a report
I said in above comment that I did do a police report, but the police have not contacted me again to ask any further questions. I feel now that I have calmed down and I am not in shock anymore I could give a lot more detail to my original statement. I would help in any way I could.
