Greg Monforton and Partners is calling for witnesses in a fatal Highway 3 crash that took the life of a 15-month-old child near Leamington.

On March 9, 15-month-old Hudson Marteniano and his mother, Isabelle, were in an SUV that was hit from behind and sent forward into an intersection. Serious injuries were sustained by both, but Hudson succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

“This is an unimaginable tragedy that should never have happened,” said Joanna Sweet, managing partner of Greg Monforton and Partners Injury Lawyers.

“Unfortunately, it appears to be part of a growing pattern of catastrophic collisions happening on Highway 3. We have been asked by Hudson’s parents to investigate this collision and identify all parties responsible for Hudson’s death.”

The investigation is in the early stages and witnesses are wanted. Anyone who knows anything is asked to come forward, especially with any dash cam footage.

“Hopefully there are people out there who can help us understand how this tragedy occurred,” said Sweet.

“We strongly encourage any witnesses to the collision or its aftermath to contact our office to assist Hudson’s family in this investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Sweet at 519-258-6490.
