Georgia Walsh, 7, mourned by her family
by
•The seven-year-old who died after being struck by a minivan at McRae Drive and Millwood Road was the daughter of John Walsh, president of the Conservative Party of Canada. The family has released a statement and the above picture. “The Walsh family; John, Jillian, Duncan, Liam and Finn are saddened to inform you that their beautiful daughter and wonderful sister Georgia has passed,” the family said. “Taken from them suddenly in an accident today, the family asks that they be given their space and privacy to come to terms with this incredible loss. Your prayers are appreciated.” Traffic concerns: There has been a flurry of complaints aired in the media about traffic on McRae Drive. McRae has been a thoroughfare for many years. John Parker (Ward 26) is right to say there is no way of no knowing if traffic flow is a cause of this accident, or any accident. He correctly says that the police should be permitted to finish their investigation. Previous post
Child struck and killed at McRae and Millwood

•This story has been changed to correct information. The child killed as she was crossing McRae from west to east on the north side of Millwood. She is identified as Georgia Walsh. (See post above). The scene of the accident is the corner where Leaside United Church is located. Police are being cautious about the status of the traffic lights at the corner. There was a report that the child’s mother was in the area but police later said the mom may not have known about the accident until she heard sirens. The vehicle is said to have been driven by a 50-year-old man who stayed at the scene of the accident. EMS personnel said the child suffered serious head injuries in the fall to the pavement and died at the Hospital for Sick Children. Residents and parishioners of Leaside United were at the corner this evening. They were shocked and sombre. This had been the evening set for the LUC community barbecue on the lawn of the church. Although the streets remained closed into the evening Wednesday, July 16, 2014, police on the scene said the intersection would definitely be open for traffic Thursday morning.
