This column recounts a rather harrowing incident recently on the Bayview Ave. Extension at Rosedale Valley Rd. The London Ontario reporter, Glen Stone, survived a blackout while at the wheel. His story is recounted here with a link to the rest of the column down below. If you happened to be driving down the Bayview Ave. extension in Toronto at 3:15 p.m. last Thursday afternoon, you would have seen a strange sight. A car came in from Rosedale Valley Rd., then suddenly accelerated across the curb lane and the gravel shoulder, heading straight towards the Don Valley itself. It plowed through the chain link fence that runs beside Bayview and took out an entire section of metal fencing that scraped the car like a badly peeled potato. The car kept going down into a swampy depression in the valley and halfway up the steep embankment on the other side. It came to rest at a precarious angle on the slope beside the valley’s railway tracks. Another few feet and the battered vehicle would have been laying on the tracks, waiting to be hit by a train. Now, if you saw all that happen, you may have wondered, “What in the world is that driver thinking? The answer is he was not thinking at all. He was unconscious. I know. I was that driver. If you’ve never passed out while driving, the experience is . . . interesting Conclusion.
