Peel Regional Police - Motorcycle fatality - Victims identified
MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 23 /CNW/ - A "Victoria Day" motorcycle collision has claimed the life of a male and female in their 20's.
On Monday, May 22, 2006, just before 5:00 p.m., a 1990 Kawasaki motorcycle, with two occupants on it, was traveling eastbound on Burnhamthorpe Road, approaching the intersection of Arista Way. As the motorcycle entered the intersection, a 2000 Mazda vehicle, traveling westbound on Burnhamthorpe Road, attempted a left-hand turn onto Arista Way, crossing the path of the motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the passenger side of the Mazda, ejecting both the driver and the passenger from the motorcycle. The driver and passenger of the motorcycle were transported to Toronto area hospitals, where they succumbed to their injuries.
The victims have been identified as 27 year-old Andrew DESMOND of
Mississauga, the driver, and his 21 year-old passenger, Christina BUSSEY also of Mississauga.
The 53 year-old male driver of the Mazda vehicle was uninjured in the
accident.
The investigation is continuing.
The Peel Regional Police Major Collision Bureau is appealing for anywitnesses, or to anyone who may have information on the accident, to contact them at (905)453-2121, ext. 3710, or Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS/8477
Andrew Desmond was my cousin.
I couldn't believe it when my mother e-mailed me at work this morning. I had to read the e-mail twice. I am not very close to my mother's side of the family, but nonethless, this is just awful. I think the last time I saw him was when I was 13. Such an awful waste of life. The funeral is friday, where I will see a lot of family members that I haven't seen in years. My mother will be going with me to the funeral. I hope that she can resolve a few of her differences with her family. Not speaking to people just isn't worth it sometimes. I am not sad because I didn't really know him at all. It just makes me think -- gosh 27, that is nothing, way too young. I don't do well at funerals, and I really hope that this is closed casket.
