<< Back to News Archive Car struck by airplane part
By Secretary EuropePublished: May 4, 2006 A Mississauga woman narrowly escaped injury last night after the wing flap of a jet aircraft fell hundreds of metres onto her sport utility vehicle. Karen MacLellan, 49, had just pulled into an industrial plaza on Argentia Rd., near Winston Churchill Blvd. and Hwy. 401. She is a member of an adult tap dancing group and was attending a practice for a competition to be held in Niagara Falls this weekend. MacLellan was inside the studio when someone came in and asked if anyone owned a Chevy Equinox with the licence "DANCE MOM." The person said the SUV had been struck by something. MacLellan went out and saw that the rear spoiler was damaged and the rear window shattered. Lying beside the car was a three-metre by one-metre piece of metal. "I was a minute away from being killed," McLellan said. "I'm definitely going to buy a lottery ticket." The damage to her vehicle is estimated at about $3,000. Const. Kathy Wylie of Peel Region police said Transport Canada has recovered the wing flap and has identified the plane. The part fell from a U.S.-based A300 cargo jet that was on approach to Pearson at about 9:30 p.m. Source: TORONTO STAR
