CALL 24/7A family is seeking the public’s help following a devastating collision that claimed the life of their 15-month-old son.
Joanna Sweet, Managing Partner at Greg Monforton & Partners, has been retained by the parents of Hudson Marteniano to investigate the circumstances surrounding the March 9 collision and identify all parties responsible.
The firm is asking anyone who witnessed the collision on Highway 3 — or who may have information about events leading up to it — to come forward.
What Happened on Highway 3
On the morning of March 9 at approximately 10:10 a.m., a vehicle carrying Hudson Marteniano and his mother Isabelle was travelling near the intersection of Highway 3 and County Road 31, close to the Kingsville-Leamington border.
Their SUV was struck from behind with such force that it was pushed forward into the intersection and oncoming traffic.
Both Hudson and his mother sustained critical injuries in the collision. Emergency responders transported them to hospital, where medical teams worked to save them. Tragically, despite all efforts, Hudson did not survive his injuries.
Why Witness Information Is Critical to This Case
The investigation into this collision is in its early stages. Understanding exactly what happened – and why – is important for Hudson’s family as they seek answers and accountability.
In an interview with AM800, Joanna Sweet emphasized the importance of witness cooperation in piecing together the events of that morning.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy that should never have happened,” Sweet told CTV News. “We have been asked by Hudson’s parents to investigate this collision and identify all parties responsible for Hudson’s death.”
Sweet noted that this incident appears to be part of a concerning pattern of serious collisions occurring on Highway 3, making it even more crucial to understand the contributing factors.
What Information Could Help
This case is in the early days of the investigation, but what we are seeking is any details that could shed light on the collision.
Information that can help us to identify other parties involved include:
- Eyewitness Accounts: Anyone who saw the collision itself or observed the vehicles involved in the moments leading up to the crash.
- Dashcam or Video Footage: Drivers who were travelling on Highway 3 near County Road 31 around 10:00 a.m. on March 9 and may have captured footage of the collision or the moments before it occurred.
- Other Relevant Information: Details about traffic conditions, driver behaviour, road conditions, or anything else that could help explain how this tragedy unfolded.
“I’m looking for everything at this point because I don’t know what I don’t know,” Sweet explained. “If someone saw something, or if they know anything about the time leading to the collision that could be relevant, I would definitely be interested in hearing from them.“
