Almost four months after being seriously injured in a cycling accident, Toronto resident Stephanie Pimentel finally got the chance to thank one of the “stranger angels” who came to her aid that fateful day.
Toronto resident Stephanie Pimentel shattered her humerus and broke her elbow in an Oct. 9 cycling accident near Shaw and Queen streets.
One of them was Crabtree, who sat down next to Pimentel’s head and comforted her until paramedics arrived about 35 minutes later and whisked her away to Toronto Western Hospital for treatment.“She helped me calm down and distracted me until the ambulance arrived.” Pimental said she didn’t exactly know who Crabtree was until recently when she felt well enough to try to find the kind strangers who helped her in her time of need.“I’ve thought about those people for the last three months. It actually brings tears to my eyes when I think about them.”
“I would also love to find the construction worker that held my hand and played music for me. I can’t remember his name, something like Saleem? It’s not every day we get to truly experience the kindness of strangers.” Crabtree told CP24.com that she’d just finished getting a facial at a spa on Ossington Avenue and was walking home that sunny fall day when she happed upon the crash.Crabtree said she noticed that no one was comforting the injured woman, so she ran over and immediately sat near her head and started talking to her in an effort to keep her distracted until medics arrived.
