Driver Who Killed Cyclist Sues the Dead Teen’s Parents

In a case the Ottawa Citizen called “astonishing evidence of the raw appeal of… victimhood,” a woman who struck and killed a teenage boy riding his bike outside of Toronto is suing the boy’s family for $1.35 million.

The driver, Sharlene Simon, is seeking compensation for the ”great pain and suffering” she has sustained since killing 17-year-old Brandon Majewski with her SUV, as well as “a severe shock to her system” and lessening of “her enjoyment of life,” her lawyers wrote in the suit, filed in an Ontario court.

Simon struck Majewski and his two 16-year-old friends in October 2012, killing Majewski and badly injuring another boy. The three were riding home from a coffee shop on a Saturday night on rural Innisfil Beach Road, about 50 miles north of Toronto.

“I think it’s very cruel,” said Brandon’s father, Derek Majewski, of the lawsuit. Derek said Brandon’s death was devastating for his family. Brandon’s grief-stricken brother, Devon, died six months later after consuming a combination of alcohol and prescription drugs.

    The back story is:

    Not only did Ontario, Canada resident Sharlene Simon, 42, hit three teenage bicyclists with her SUV on her way home from a bar at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2012 killing one and leaving another with permanent injuries; she is now suing the survivors along with the family and estate of the victim for emotional trauma.

    Simon, whose husband is a police officer in York County ....

    There's the truth.

    What a POS.
