The Town of Aquaforte on the Southern Shore is speaking out about what it sees as a lack of action on the part of government regarding brush cutting following that a highway crash that killed a man and his daughter.
Stacey-Lynn Kenny, who was 19, and her father, Corey, were on a motorcycle in Aquaforte around 8:30 Monday night when it struck a moose. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Aquaforte town manager Aaron Croft says this week’s tragedy follows a fatal moose-vehicle collision in the community a few years ago.
He says moose sightings on that stretch of road are constant, and daily reports of near-misses have become routine. He says the lack of action on the part of government amounts to nothing short of negligence. The town is also calling on area MHA Loyola O’Driscoll to speak out on their behalf.
The crash has left an indelible mark on the region. Stacey-Lynn was a hockey player with the Southern Shore Breakers. Her coach, Donny Gosse, says this has been one tough week.
