Deadly snowmobile accident inspires Williams Lake widow to call for better ramp safety
Shanelle Pierce, left, with her children and husband, Trevor Lee Shine Pierce, right, who died in a snowmobile ramp accident.
While he was not wearing a helmet at the time, she said the injury would have caused so much pressure, a helmet would not have saved him. On March 3, Trevor’s heart, liver, two kidneys, and pancreas went to different recipients and the lenses of his eyes were able to help provide sight to eight different people, each individual eye giving sight to four people.
She described a powerful scene in the hospital, as all the nurses available lined the hospital hallway to honour her husband in what is called the “hero’s walk” as he was wheeled to the operating room for organ donation.But she is not stopping at organ donation, Shanelle also wants to warn others using loading ramps to check their ramps have safety mechanisms to prevent levering, or to tie down ramps before riding onto one.
