Happened on 881 maybe 2-3 klicks from 63, as we get our hands on more details it seems like the guy who was driving the car Vik was in, was being a ****ing idiot....or at the least, did something incredibly stupid.

:nono What an absolute shame. Thinking of ya, sure it's really tough for you.
 
There were 3 people in the vehicle my friend was in, 1 in the truck that they hit.

Vik and one other passenger in the car passed away, the driver survived and is currently in the critical care unit in Edmonton. The driver of the Silverado that they hit (head on, at highway speeds) is apparently fine short of some pretty mild bumps and bruises.

The entire incident is a bit of a truck/suv commercial for me....apparently the truck looked like it could have been driven home and the car was totaled.
 
komisarek is a ****ing ox. the dude spent last offseason doing anaerobic workouts... including pulling ****ing trucks. absolutely nuts.

Thanks hun, it's going to be a shitty few days. His family is making arrangements to fly up from Toronto (one of the reasons Vik and I got along so well...fellow Leaf fan) to clear up any loose ends (pack his belongings, etc) and prepare him to be flown home for the funeral. We're obviously going to do everything we can to make that as easy as we can for them.

Imagine the feeling of showing up to practice and the place being packed with people.

Most can't get this type of astmosphere on a good night let alone during practice.

It must be a surreal feeling playing for teams like the Leafs and Habs.
 
Sad story Mindz but of course its one we hear all too often in that neck of the woods. Its almost common place to open the paper or turn on the news and hear about someone being killed in a head on on one of those highways.

If you need to get out of there for the weekend the door is open dude. J-dub is out of town all weekend so myself and Raynes will just be chillin

It's probably only for certain players, playing in an environment like this. Perhaps many prefer to go about their business and not have to deal with throngs of fans and media after them. I talked a little bit about it with Duchene last year prior to the draft and he was hoping at that point that the Leafs would be in a position to take him. I asked him about the added pressure of playing in this market and in front of family and friends and he basically said that he thinks if you're a good player, you should welcome that extra pressure and thrive on being significant.

I might take you up on that.

anyone who's seen the idiocy that happens on 63 can't be surprised by shit like this. The drivers up here are a special breed of stupid. Coming back up the other weekend I watched some tool in a silver maxima pass a tractor trailer going uphill...the ****er actually crested the hill in the oncoming lane. I mean seriously, who the **** does shit like that?????
 
Sorry to hear about it ME ... 2 cousins of mine died in separate car accidents when they were still in their 20's, so I can understand ... it's a shame we continue to lose lives in what are usually pretty avoidable accidents.

A lot of people just don't respect how dangerous driving can be. TimHorton and I lost one our best friends to a drunk driver about 10 years ago, and I've lost a few other people close to me in accidents since then, so this is bringing back some unpleasant memories to say the least.

If nothing else, this is a bit of reminder to buy a truck/suv, physics is a bitch.
