Toronto Star - Rail Safety at Mississauga Crossings May 25, 2026
ZSRH Litigation Lawyers LLP is acting for the family of Leandro Santos, the 13-year-old boy fatally struck by a GO train at the Alexandra Avenue crossing in Mississauga on March 18, 2026. The Toronto Star's front-page report by Calvi Leon, published May 25, 2026, examines safety conditions at the crossing - ranked by Transport Canada as the 21st riskiest of nearly 25,000 in the country - and the broader question of residential development around active commuter rail corridors.
Rohan Haté, counsel for the family, is quoted in the article:
"Active warnings tell you a train is coming. They don't address the underlying question of why a 13-year-old can reach a live commuter rail on a motorized bike in the middle of his own neighbourhood in the first place."
Our thoughts remain with Ms. Carvalho, Bianca, and Leandro's family and friends.
