In December 2005 Jessica, a 21-year-old Concordia student, and her brother were waiting to cross the busy intersection at the corner of Strathcona and Sherbrooke in Montreal’s Westmount neighbourhood. A snow-removal truck turned in front of them when the light turned green and, according to witnesses, came up onto the sidewalk, knocking snow out from under their feet. Jessica pushed Peter Luc to safety before she herself was crushed beneath the truck’s wheels. Peter Luc survived, but barely, landing in the intensive care unit at the Montreal Children’s Hospital with a broken shoulder and pelvis.
