Two deadly crashes in Pickering and Markham, Ontario, during the brutally icy commute on Thursday morning have claimed the lives of two middle age women. A woman in her mid 50's was killed Thursday morning in a collision at Brock and Taunton roads at around 8 a.m. Taunton Road is a hot spot for icy conditions as well as large amounts of collisions, said by a Durham Regional Police spokesman named Dave Selby. A total of fifteen cars were damaged on Taunton Road, just west of Highway 115, after reportedly sliding of a hill, said police. No injuries were reported in this accident, but there was a lot of property damages. In Markham, a woman died during a brutal four car accident around 7:30 a.m. Thursday morning on McCowan Road, between Elgin Mills Road and 19th Avenue.Being a resident near Markham Ontario, hearing about these unnecessary death really astonishes me. Every morning I drive through Markham on my way to school, and I am thankful that it wasn't me in that car who died. I experienced these icy roads first hand, and I do no that they were brutal. I saw many accidents on my way up to school as well. I wish that the town had done a better job on making the roads safe for drivers, and I think that these accidents could have been avoided if they had done so, even by applying more salt which would have been a quick fix.
