About this episode
Monday, April 23rd, 2018 was a surprisingly warm day in Toronto, Ontario, causing residents to be out in droves, ditching their winter coats, eager to enjoy the sunshine.

Among those taking advantage of the warmer weather, was 68 year old Catherine Riddell, headed to the library off of Yonge Street, when a van suddenly struck her from behind.

The vehicle had hit Catherine with such force, it sent her body flying in the air, before crashing through a transit shelter.

The strange thing was, Catherine hadn’t been hit crossing the street. She’d been walking on the sidewalk.
