An update on CTV Windsor’s Ricardo Veneza

CTV Windsor's Ricardo Veneza.

As some viewers may have noticed, CTV Windsor news anchor Ricardo Veneza has been absent.

Veneza was in a serious motorcycle accident while on a tour of Ontario and is currently in hospital. It will be a long recovery, but he is doing well and has lots of support. He will be absent while he heals.

He provided the following statement to CTV Windsor viewers:

I can’t say enough about the fast actions of bystanders, paramedics, and doctors who rushed to my rescue following a terrible end to a fantastic trip. Thanks isn’t enough for their efforts and I hope I can repay it in some small way down the line.

I have fantastic support around me from friends, family, and loved ones, the medical staff watching over me, and, of course, my newsroom colleagues. I’m looking forward to returning to full strength and back to the news desk in due time.

Different members of the CTV Windsor team will be anchoring in his absence.
