A Van came speeding down the curb lane on a red light and got airborne over the railroad tracks and struck Kassandra. Her car was broadsided in the drivers’ side door at 103 km an hour the impact sent Kassandra car up and over the meridian and it landed about 1000 feet down the road in pieces strewn across the intersection.
