Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 My missus works at Toronto's Sick Kids Hospital. She said Code Orange (outside disaster) was declared. 2 children (an infant and young kid) were sent to ED, possibly treated for shock trauma. Local cable TV reported that some passengers walked up the hwy embankment and hitch-hiked cars to nearby hospitals. (preliminary) Cause of crash: probably hydroplaning or wind-shear.
