A month after being hit by a GO Train at Long Branch station in Etobicoke, a 46-year-old mother of two remains in hospital.
Manal Srouji considers herself a careful person who routinely uses public transportation to get from home to work. Then, the morning of Sept. 17, her life changed.
Police say at around 8:15 a.m., a woman was struck by a GO Train and transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Authorities say the woman had been walking near the edge of the platform when she was hit.
Srouji remains bedridden and says the continued support of her sons and the community has been instrumental in keeping her going.
