Remembering the Hampstead Tragedy
Toronto – February 5, 2014 – This week marks the second anniversary of one of the deadliest highway collisions in Ontario history. On February 6, 2012, a 13-passenger van collided with a flatbed truck on a county road near Hampstead, Ontario. A trail of carnage was left near the accident site, as a single family home, painted sky blue, stood virtually untouched while the accident victims lay just a few metres away from the front door. Ten migrant workers perished that day, while three others barely survived to tell their story.
