Cheri Guest of Tweed, Ont., “will never recover from this,” her daughter said after Guest’s husband was killed in a car crash just in front of their driveway on April 17.
Ronald Guest, 47, was killed waiting to pull into his driveway on Highway 7. An initial police investigation suggests Guest was hit from behind and pushed into oncoming traffic. He crashed into a pickup truck and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Before Guest was killed, he and his wife were living in a trailer because their home was destroyed in a tornado July last year. They had been fighting with their insurance company, “you name it, the whole works,” Burton said on the campaign page.
Burton said Guest left behind her mother, “the love of his life, the twinkle in his eyes,” as well as four children and four grandchildren.
Her mother “has had the worst year of her life,” Burton said. “So I’m asking the community to help her.”
Another fatal crash happened on Highway 7, about 30 km northeast from Tweed, near Kaladar, on April 22. A 27-year-0ld man from Gatineau, Que., died in the single-vehicle crash.
An initial police investigation shows the driver lost control and ended up submerged in water. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and a passenger went to hospital with minor injuries.
