The incident initially ruled as tragic Christmas Day accident on an Alberta highway, is now found to be the “final desperate act” of a Canadian soldier who committed suicide, according to her husband. In a written statement submitted by the Veteran’s husband, Tom, it was explained that the 20-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, Retired Cpl. Leona MacEachern, deliberately drove off her car into an oncoming transport truck on the Trans-Canada highway near Calgary.

The Dec. 25 incident immediately resulted in the death of the 51-year-old who served with the military police and in the First Gulf War. On the other hand, the two occupants of the tractor trailer did not receive any seriously injuries. According to the statement, the veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, MacEachern, and had left a note for her family. Highlighting that MacEachern’s PTSD treatment consisted of seeing a psychiatrist for 45 minutes a week, Tom, alleged that “we would like to say that Leona had slipped through the cracks in the system but, in fact, there does not seem to be ‘a system.’”

It was mentioned that “when symptoms became worse she was referred into the Alberta Public Health care system which was even worse.” Tom added that “various medications led to new side effects and symptoms and assessments were done on lockdown psychiatric wards alongside the deeply disturbed and those under observation in relation to criminal matters. A couple of visits to emergency rooms when she reported suicidal thoughts were met with a quick visit by the ‘crisis team’ who then sent her home.”
