A Saskatchewan widower is urging the provincial government to enhance rail safety at a Churchbridge crossing where his wife was killed in a train collision. Wayne Mantyka, whose wife died in the incident, is calling for the installation of warning lights to prevent further tragedies.
Deadly crossing prompts safety plea
The crossing, located in Churchbridge, has been the site of multiple fatal collisions. Mantyka believes that adding warning lights could significantly reduce the risk of accidents. He is now appealing to the province to take action.
Community support for safety measures
Local residents have rallied behind Mantyka, emphasizing the need for improved infrastructure at rail crossings. Many have expressed concern over the lack of adequate warning systems in rural areas.
The province has yet to respond to the request, but Mantyka remains hopeful that his advocacy will lead to change. He stresses that no family should endure the loss he has experienced.
