She was, "...feelin' way to damn good," as she moved on from the disaster that saw her kicked out of the Conservative Caucus in April, but Helena Guergis was thrust into the spotlight once more on Thursday. Once more, it was on a negative note as she remains front page material for various media outlets.
After the the fatal accident that saw Michael Ignatieff's Director of Communications, Mario Lague, pass away after his motorcycle collided with an SUV, it seems this former Conservative member who is no stranger to the spotlight, was also involved in an automotive accident.
Independant MP, Helena Guergis, was involved in a car accident near CFB Borden on Thursday. Thankfully, it was not fatal, but te MP probably was not too concerned about her own health and more of that of her unborn child. Five month pregnant Helena, was attending an announcement by Defense Minister Peter McKay at CFB Borden about new funding when her car was struck while going through an intersection. Her assistant was also in the vehicle, and both were rushed to a hospital in Alliston, Ontario.
She is now reportedly been released from the hospital and is recovering at home, as is her assistant, after being kept for observation. The pair will now take time off to recover from their injuries and spend time with their respective families after the experience. She is very lucky to have escaped the indecent with little to no injuries.
Defense Minister Peter McKay released the details of the the event to her office in Simcoe-Grey as she was obviously unable to attend and he wishes her a speedy recovery as parlayed by his spokesman, Jim Paxton to the Globe and Mail, "Minister MacKay was very sorry to hear about the accident and hopes Ms. Guergis, her baby and all on board recover quickly."
PM Stephen Harper was also near by when the event occurred as he was attending a charity hockey game in Barrie, Ontario. He has yet to comment on the event.
