Jenna Morrison

On the morning of November 7th, a cyclist was stuck and killed by a transport truck on Toronto's west end. By pure chance, I happened upon the site of the accident not long after it happened. What I saw there was very upsetting and I made the choice not to take any photographs. It wasn't until a couple days later that I learned the fallen cyclist was 38-year-old Jenna Morrison, who was five months pregnant with her second child.

News of the tragedy quickly spread through Toronto's cycling community and received a high amount of media attention. Yesterday, one week after the accident, hundreds of cyclists met at 7:30am at Bloor and Spadina for a ghost ride to the accident site. The ride was completely silent and swelled to nearly 1000 riders by the time it reached the west end. Jenna's friends and family took turns speaking and some installed a ghost bike close the spot where Jenna lost her life.
