On Friday, January 19th, five teenagers were involved in a car accident while headed on their way to Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario. They were headed off to the mountain for a day of skiing, when they lost control of their SUV and collided with a cargo truck, killing four of the five passengers in the vehicle. The town of around 6,000 is mourning their deaths, and a steady stream of support is coming in light of the terrible events of that day.
This article holds a certain significance for me as one of the passengers was a close friend of my sister, and she has been in a sullen mood ever since the news came to her. Terrible events like these are bound to happen in the winter when the roads are bad, and there are relatively inexperienced drivers on them. The frequent occurrence of young driver accidents also makes you wonder whether the Ministry needs to raise the minimum driving age. Personally, I think that the graduated system needs to be more limiting, as teenage driving accidents are practically commonplace these days.
