A young brother and sister who were struck and killed while playing at the edge of their driveway last spring are being remembered by their family ahead of the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims.
Wednesday marks the six-month anniversary of the incident on Athabasca Drive, just off Dufferin Street north of Teston Road, in Vaughan, Ont. That’s where a vehicle lost control and went off the road, striking the two siblings and a neighbour who was fixing one of their bikes at the time.
The siblings were rushed to hospital in critical condition while the neighbour sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The four-year-old boy, identified by the family as Jax, died in hospital the same day. His sister, 10-year-old Anaya, was pronounced dead a day later.
“Our family is broken, devastated. We want to wake up from this nightmare and we can’t… Everyday we see and hear about careless, dangerous driving all around us…it just doesn’t stop,” the family said in a statement issued to CTV News Toronto on Tuesday.
