This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Steven Harel’s parents Yvon and Diane. Diane and Yvon Harel say while they are still devastated by the loss, they are pleased with the work done since their son’s death to improve the safety of railway crossings in Moncton and other communities.

“Everything we’ve done is for Steven’s friends, because they keep going by those railway crossings every day. That’s why we did it and we’re satisfied,” Diane Harel said Tuesday. “This wasn’t a suit based on making buckets of money. This was a suit based in hurt and based in a conscience that wouldn’t go away on the part of these two lovely parents who lost their son,” Murphy said.

It’s believed one of the wheels on Harel’s chair dropped into the gap in the asphalt and became stuck in gravel, making it impossible for him to reverse. “Essentially there has been an amicable resolution of all claims by the Harel family against all of the parties mentioned ,” Murphy said.
