Earlier this month, the family of one Ontario father of the three was killed By an alleged dangerous driver, who was already facing allegations in the premiere confrontation, is trying to pursue strong laws to strengthen some of his grief and pain.
Andrew Christilllo, 35, A head accident was killed on August 3 It also injured his wife and his three young daughters.
This should not have happened, his brother Jordan Christilo said, and he does not want other people to suffer from the same nightmare.
In a recent interview, Christillo said, “When you look at every weekend, (eg headlines) ‘one dead, two are injured,” These are families who are torn and turned upside down, and we are one of them, “Christillo said in a recent interview.
“So now I want to convert this pain into purpose and in honor of my brother, but also try in honor of all other families that are affected – it ends on it, because if you have dangerous drivers on the road, you are just gambling with other people’s lives.”
The three girls are recovering from various physical injuries, but emotionally and spiritually, they have a long road, said Christilo. The age of all three was under seven years of age at the time of the accident, but in a few weeks since then two of them have had to mark their birthdays without their beloved father.
“I am confident that they (physically) will continue to heal and move forward, but it is more than the milestone of life when you are a recurrence and are not looking at your father in the crowd, or not walking in a corridor, and not taking his father down from the corridor,” Christilo said.
“This is a lifetime sentence that this family has.”
18 -year -old allegations are faced in a deadly accident
The family has initiated a petition calling for Andrew’s law, listing methods that they want to see strengthening the dangerous driving punishment.
“The first change we want to see is, if you are being charged with dangerous driving, your license is canceled until you go from your test, so that we stop and save others from dangerous drivers on the road.”
Also, there should be a lifetime driving restriction for those guilty of highly dangerous driving, Christilo said.
“I don’t know how many more life needs to be separated and families are really torn to the government to take it seriously,” he said. “If you know that you have people who cannot be trusted behind a wheel, do not allow them, because driving is a privilege. It is not a correct.”
18 -year -old Jayavin Kirubanthan was accused of dangerous driving, causing death, physical damage in three cases of dangerous driving, failed to remain in an accident, resulting in death and public mischief in the accident of Andrew Christillo. He is expected to appear in the Oshwa court on Monday morning.
Police say Kirubananthan is the same person who was charged after killing an Ontario provincial police vehicle, In which Premier Doug Ford was traveling on Highway 401 in January,
Kirubanathan’s lawyers could not comment on the circumstances of any case, but said they believe that dangerous driving laws are sufficient.
Barry Fox said in an interview, “The maximum punishment for dangerous driving is life in jail.” “Can’t find much more rigid or dragonians.”
Ford says that the province can strengthen punishment
The degrees of dangerous driving are, Fox said, and the law already recognizes that with a wide range of potential punishments. When an accused is released on bail, driving prohibition may be attached to him, Fox said, but it is not mandatory.
“To accommodate a variety of dangerous driving, there must be a place within the purview of the law,” he said. “We can’t just take a hammer and say,” You are away from the road for two years (or) five years. “
Ford was asked at a news conference earlier this month whether he would support the strengthening of punishment and said he “absolutely”.
“I think it has been over -overdose, so we will see it,” Ford said.
The Federal Justice Department cannot comment on the case, while the courts are in front of the courts, a spokesman said that in 2018, the laws around impaired and dangerous driving were strengthened.
“Between other changes, the death of penalty for dangerous driving had increased to the maximum fine of life imprisonment, which is the most maximum tenure of imprisonment provided by law,” Ketin Murce said in a statement.
Those who are convicted for dangerous driving can also get an order to them due to death, which prevent them from driving for life, Murce said, the government said that the government is “always watching the government to improve the criminal justice system and ensure the safety of our roads and highways.”
Breast cancer struggling mother
Ford has called people at Ontario to support the Christillo family. Not only has they lost a father, but his wife, Christina, has been battling breast cancer for the last few years.
Jordan Crystillo said, “This entire uncertainty has not gone away.” “We never thought that my brother would not be with him with each of these steps. So it is difficult to fathom how he is feeling to face that uncertainty, but not even for his best friend and partner, who makes him laugh during all appointments, to receive him through him.”
Christilo stated that Christina’s diagnosis of cancer determined her brother to create a life -long memories as a family. He was always taking his children on thrill and was present as a father with one hand, Christilo said. Andrew was the life of the party that always had people in stitches, he said, he would remember his brother’s mischief and many times unfair jokes.

Also, family Change.org The petition called Andrew’s law has obtained more than 10,000 signatures for safe roads.
“Whether he is signing a petition or supporting Gofundme, all those acts, big and small, are actually giving our family to move forward to move forward,” Christilo said.
“We are very grateful to the entire community for having our back.”
