Conestogo girl dies as result of injuries from October car crash

The father of the girl (& husband to the mother) is a co-worker of
mine -- he's in a different department, but in my previous role I did
a couple small jobs for him.  He's a great guy, active with Big
Brothers.  Another co-worker said that last they'd heard the mother is
still in rough shape so she hasn't been told of her daughter's death.
No idea what their religious beliefs might be, but I believe prayers
should be offered regardless.

I don't have any idea what I should say the next time I see him.
Probably something simple like "sorry" or "my condolences" and then
keep my mouth shut.

WOOLWICH TOWNSHIP — An 11-year-old Conestogo girl has died from
injuries she received in a car crash last month.

Grace Wynen died Sunday.

The girl had been taken to hospital Oct. 22 after the car she was in
collided with a pickup truck at the intersection of Maryhill Road and
Crowsfoot Road around 9 p.m.

Waterloo Regional Police say the girl was in a 2004 Toyota with her
mother at the time and that they were heading west on Crowsfoot Road.
The car had stopped for a two-way stop sign at the intersection at
Maryhill Road and then proceeded to move ahead. The car was struck by
a 1997 Ford pickup truck. The mother, 41, is still in hospital.

The 25-year-old Maryhill driver of the truck was initially charged
with two counts of driving with more than the legal amount of alcohol
in his system but those charges are now expected to be upgraded.
