Why Coming Forward Matters
Looking across these Greater Toronto Area collisions, a pattern emerges: investigators consistently ask the public for help. Modern reconstructions relies on more than gouge marks and debris fields; they also depend on human observations and video. A few seconds of footage can confirm speed or right-of-way. A brief memory—such as seeing a driver hesitate, signal, or accelerate—can make the difference between uncertainty and clarity. When people share what they know, families waiting for answers are better served, and the justice system is better informed.
