Quote:ccident Victim Pleads For Change
Thursday November 30, 2006

The day that changed April Sobisch's life forever began with a comforting degree of normalcy.

"I was just driving. It was a beautiful sunny day," recalls Sobisch.  Moments later, that normalcy, along with her body, would be shattered by a car going the wrong way on Highway 400 in Barrie.

April spent the next 100 days in hospital, but lived to tell the story.  Even more remarkably, her baby son, Owen, who was in the car at the time, escaped the devastating crash unharmed.

Now April is fighting to make the roads in Ontario safer, lobbying for a law that will put large Wrong Way signs on highways.

She notes that Nova Scotia and British Columbia both have the signs, and she believes having them erected here could help prevent future disasters. 

Her M.P.P. Jim Wilson raised the issue during a recent question period.

The government said it will look at the proposal, but nothing will happen before Christmas.

Sobisch believes it's worth the wait.

"It will help somebody and it will save somebody's life," she said.

In the last six months alone there have been 187 wrong-way accidents in the G.T.A.

what I find disturbing is the 187 wrong way accidents in the last 6 months.. you'd think someone would notice if they were going the wrong way... it's pretty obvious even without signs.
