On September 15, 1999, I was driving my green 1998 Ford Escort northbound on Warden Avenue at approximately 1:20 a.m. I was travelling at the speed limit of 50 km per hour. It rained earlier in the evening so the roads were a bit wet but the rain had stopped by the time the accident occurred.

I stopped for a red light at the intersection of Warden and Ellesmere. While I was waiting for the light to change, I noticed a truck coming towards me from behind and its high beams were on. The truck was travelling very fast and I remember thinking that it didn�t look as if it was going to stop. I heard the squeal of the truck�s brakes but it was too late. The truck couldn�t stop. It hit me from behind and pushed my car into the middle of the intersection. At that moment, a white Neon was coming westbound on Ellesmere and hit the passenger side of my car. Luckily I was alone in the car and no one was sitting in that seat.

I was taken to Scarborough General Hospital where I was treated for cuts to my face from the broken windshield and whiplash. The doctor said I will have to be off work for at least a month. My car is a write-off.
