Wendy Armstrong knows exactly how the Curtis family from St. Thomas are feeling this week.
“I don't wish this on any parent,” said Armstrong, who lost her son Devon Tinus in March of 2009 in a crash involving an impaired driver.
Tinus, 12, and his friend Mason Berube, 12, and Mason’s father Jason Berube were all returning to Chatham-Kent after a London Knights game, when they were struck at the intersection of Longwoods Road and Westel Bourne.
The 2009 crash also killed 26-year old Dave Marshall.
The St. Thomas crash, which killed 11-year old Aiden Curtis Tuesday, brought back horrifying memories for Armstrong.
“Every moment of that was like an instant replay,” said Armstrong. “It just everyone's story always brings you back to your story. And it's just heart wrenching for the families and like what they have to go through.”
