back in October 2012 a woman by the name is charlene Simon in Toronto was driving
her SUV at around 1:30 in the morning
when she struck %uh a group of teenagers riding their bicycles
killing one of them a teenage boy but name a branded Majo ski
now after that happened of course the family was devastated about it wanna be
other teenagers was in the hospital for quite some time
facing serious injuries but he's okay now the other teenager
got away with only a few scrapes up but
even though this family lost their son they are now facing a lawsuit from the
woman
who struck their son and killed him now I had to give you more
a better idea how this accident happened according to the Toronto Sun Brandon was
struck from behind by an SUV
and killed while his friend Richard MacLean 16 was seriously injured
with a broken pelvis and other bones his other PAL Jake Roberts also 16 was
knocked off his bike
but sustained only scratches so now what is the family facing a lawsuit after
this tragic thing happen to them
well charlene Simon 42 I
is suing the dead boy for the emotional trauma she says
she has suffered she's also suing two other boys as well as the dead boy's
parents
and even his brother who has since died she is also suing the county health
Simcoe for failing to maintain the road now this is a rural road I'm there was a
two-way lane or to a rotation say
and again it was very very late at night it was at 1:30 in the morning the boys
were
going out to get a bite to eat and she's not facing any charges whatsoever
%uh so it's interesting to see that she doesn't have to worry about
any type of legal actions against her but she's going ahead and she's suing
this family after something so tragic happened to them that and love so
shit like you said she's not facing a charge is like sometimes terrible things
happen and it's just like criminal like she wasn't trying to kill them she
wasn't drunk but that's hardly know the police say there was no evidence of
alcohol or anything like that
and and there could be a case as I am said in the meeting
at third devils advocate position that you could be driving in so we can cut in
front of you you hit them but it's still
they're falling conceivably you could have emotional distress but in this case
she's just trying to get something out of it
and the thing is it's crazy but like would need something terrible happens
that you do
that doesn't stop you from seeing the world from your point of view and
she doesn't see the emotional trauma that the family is going through what
she has her sort of fake BS drama
and maybe she is haunted by the fact that she killed a person she should be
but they have it much worse she can't see that because she's so wrapped up in
our own experience there's a lot
empathy in this case and it's kind of astonishing to me that she
doesn't see that this family is mourning their grieving and we just lost another
titled I love that you mention that because that's another twist to the
story that so difficult to read about
you they have a a 23 though they had a 23-year-old son
who actually died love a drug and alcohol overdose
after their younger son was killed in this accident
and they're saying that it's not suicide but that you know their older son was
trying to deal work cope with the loss of his brother
and so you know this family is now lost two other sons
and you're saying hey you know what I'm facing trauma in my life an emotional
distress
so I'm gonna sue and by the way the lawsuit is for 1.35 million dollars
well I mean she's he she there's already a lawsuit that says your routine lawsuit
filed by I guess lawyers representing
that victim's family Bob against
the woman because they say she was driving too bad she may have been
intoxicated even though
the police say no evidence that and that she did not take a breathalyzer
should not %uh pictured right always do that that she was driving too fast in
asia may have been talking on her cell phone
who does rate what happened here he says she didn't see the reflectors on look
but released in America this is in Canada but I mean
there's a suit the countersuit eventually they can merge them together
and we could buy know what happens
and a reasonable jury may welcome added that go okay we've heard everything
I you the woman driving
you pay the families 1.3 million you cover their legal costs
in that bed is a totally possible outcome for this so he could sue all she
wants she put them through
unreasonable emotional distress which is a terrible person she's
and now and she's a killer I
and she destroyed whole family is no god damn sense
and she's got your mother 3 and G you not too bad for kids to their
improperly cared for a by this brutally
foolish failure and woman and I hope she gets hammered
trial yeah it was ever yeah she getting hammered in the press
whereas all she had to do was not but
and we might well have thought what a terrible tragedy that befell
all these people yeah you know rate it might well could actually may well have
not been her fall
but it done sally was their fault either they were drunk either
they were just on their bikes so
