MISSISSAUGA — Mayor Hazel McCallion appears to be doing okay after she was involved in a car accident Friday night (May 2).

The 93-year-old McCallion arrived late at an event at the Toronto Golf Club on Dixie Rd. in Lakeview which was being hosted by the Toronto Scottish Regiment, a reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces based in Etobicoke and Mississauga.

She announced to the crowd she was involved in a car accident and said a MiWay Transit employee was kind enough to drive her to the golf course.

She also announced at another event at the Living Arts Centre (LAC) that evening that she had been involved in a car accident.

The News has learned the crash occurred around Wolfedale Rd. and Central Pkwy. in the early evening.

The two-vehicle collision left debris from the mayor's car scattered on the roadway.

Whan asked for comment, McCallion, who was at the LAC this afternoon, referred The News to Peel Regional Police, who are investigating the crash.

Peel Police have yet to respond to a request for comment.

Ward 11 councillor George Carlson, who was at the event at the golf club, said he was glad to hear she wasn't hurt, but added this might be yet another reminder that the long-time mayor needs a driver.

"It's not a sign of weakness for her to accept the notion she needs a driver," he said. "She really should have a driver, specially after dark."
