CE "A Family Tradition for 131 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 25, 1997 - 9 Local nurses on scene when riders hurt in train accident By Heather McCrae Port Perry Star Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Last Wednesday (Nov. 19) when passengers on board a GO transit train were injured after another train struck theirs, hun- dreds of nurses were there in minutes to assist the injured. The nurses were there within minutes after the crash because 1,000 RNs were gathered for the Ontario Nurses' Association annual four- day meeting across the street from the train sta- tion at the Royal York Hotel. nurses pressed into ser- vice, helping to stabilize the wounded, move stretchers and control the crowds. From York Street to Bay Street, it was closed down so emergency vehi- cles, ambulance buses and police could do their job, she said. "Personally, I think it was handled extremely well," she said. "Metro Ambulance personnel put their disaster plan to work very efficiently." Although Mrs. Wilson's services were not needed she was one of the many people who witnessed the prompt rescue efforts. None of the injuries were life-threatening; most were various degrees of whiplash. "I believe a broken collarbone was the worst injury," Mrs. Wilson said.
