S.O.S.

Seven-year-old expected to live
Jun 20, 2009 | 03:13 PM | Adrian Morrow | Staff Reporter | The Star

A 7-year-old boy hit by a car in Cabbagetown yesterday remains in a coma but is expected to live.

The boy was riding a bicycle across Parliament St. at Oak St., north of Dundas St. E. around 6:40 p.m. at a crosswalk.

He made it more than halfway across the street, with vehicles in the southbound passing lane stopped for him.
A 29-year-old woman driving in the curb lane, however, hit him.

He was taken to hospital with head injuries and placed in a medically induced coma.

(Note: The driver in the two tone metal box is reported as unhurt and has since snapped out of the gasoline induced coma ...)

are you trying to make me cry?

this story makes me sad

the inability of people to see the "worst case scenario" makes me more sad

saying "I am sorry" is too late
of course the driver is sorry
we are all sorry
