A 42-year-old mother was on her lunch break at work when she was struck and killed by a vehicle that crashed through a concrete barrier and drove off a second-storey parking lot in Vaughan, Ont.
“She worked hard every day to support me and my brother,” Maria De Simone’s eldest son Joey Mazzucco told CTV News Toronto on Thursday evening.
Just before 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, emergency crews were called to a commercial building located in the area of Keele Street and Rutherford Road for a report of a collision. There was an elderly female passenger in the vehicle as well. She sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the incident.When De Simone did not return to work from her lunch break her employer, Frank Caruso, said he became very concerned.
“She was just an amazing person. It’s very sad because you couldn’t find a nicer person. She had a great heart. She was such a bright light, always in a great mood, always happy – it’s just terrible, just horrifying.”
