<v Speaker 1>and she's a Canadian woman who in two thousand nineteen

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>was convicted of impaired driving that led to a massive

<v Speaker 1>explosion in London. Y'all might have forgot, are never heard

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.760

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>impaired driving and she would send us to three years

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in prison in two thousand and twenty one. Can I

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>refresh your memory? Let's go to see TV news for

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>the report. Please. Twenty two year old Daniella Lees faces

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a dozen charges connected to the blast that rocked the

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Old East village mid August. Please. Faces charges including impaired

<v Speaker 1>operation over eighty milligrams causing bodily harm and four counts

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On August fourteenth, emergency

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>crews responded to the Woodman Avenue address for a collision.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Once unseen, responders noticed the smell of gas, and within

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>minutes the house exploded. Police believe the vehicle hit a

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>gas line one it collided with the home. Now, roughly

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>one hundred homes had to be evacuated and seven people

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>were injured, including multiple first responders. Jesus Christ, Well, you know,

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>we live in a world where nobody holds themselves accountable

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>for nothing. Okay, nothing is never default of the person,

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, Blame always has to go to someone else.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So Daniella is blaming someone else for this. She's actually

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>filing a lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services, alleging that

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the company shares some of the liability for civil lawsuits

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>filed by the victims of the blast because today served

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>her alcohol. Yeah, she's blaming it onto alcohol. I can't

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to STV

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>news for the report. Police the kitchen or woman behind

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the wheel and an impaired driving crash that destroyed and

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>damaged several homes in London is suing the company that

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>served her at Budweiser Gardens that night. Daniella Lees is

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>facing a number of civil lawsuits in relation to the

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>August twenty nineteen crash and says Ovations Ontario Food Services

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>should share liability Now ctvs. Christa Simpson is joining us

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Now with more on this story Krista. Before the crash,

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Lees was at a concert Ricardo. The statement of claims says,

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>among other things, the company served her alcohol, didn't monitor

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>how much she was drinking, let her drink more than

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>she should have, and ejected her from the venue without

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>making sure she was not going to drive impaired. In

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>October twenty twenty, Lees pleaded guilty to four counts of

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 1>impaired driving causing bodily harm, ultimately being sentenced to three

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 1>years in prison. Lees lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>says the crash would not have happened if the company

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>had not been negligent. You know, I came up in

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>an era when drinking and driving was a choice. Okay,

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you can drink or you can drive. You can drive

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>or you can drink, but you cannot do both. Okay.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>We had so many reminders not to drinking drive. You know,

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina had the highways, the dieways commercials. I don't

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>know if they were national. I think they might have

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>been national. Virginia had to drive sober or get pulled

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>over done might have been national too, I don't remember,

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>but remember the buzz driving is drunk driving campaigns. I

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>know the Texas Texas had the faces of drunk driving ads.

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't drinking drive was literally drilled into our

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>brains since day one. Okay, not to mention this happened

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen, all right, The rideshare revolution has been

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>happening for a long time. Okay, to lift the ubers

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of the world. There was somebody you could have called Daniella. Now,

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong. We know that some bars can

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>be held liable when they know a person is intoxicated

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and they keep serving them. I don't know if this

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>is one of those situations. Okay. The lawsuit is saying

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that they knew she was intoxicated, and did not train

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a supervised staff serving alcohol, and put profit above safety.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if all that is true. I don't

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>know if all that is proven. All I know is

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that in the drunk driving case, the primary defendant is

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the drunk driver. Okay, we live in a society where

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>nobody wants to be held accountable for their actions. It's

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>always somebody else's fault. She's better off saying the devil

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>made me do it. Okay, if you're gonna blame somebody,

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 1>blame Satan, Lucifer Beesel, Bob Trump, whatever you call the devil,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>she might as well have put the blame on that

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>evil entity, because all that is more believable and makes

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>more sense. But at the end of the day, we

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>are all accountable for ourselves, simple as that. Accountability breeds responsibility.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>So whatever you see someone doing something is irresponsible as

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>dan Ella did, it's because she's probably a human who

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>has never been held accountable for anything she's ever done

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>in her life. Okay, that three is in prison she's

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>serving right now is the first time she's probably ever

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>been held accountable for her actions, and of course she

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to take full responsibility. Well, kids, always remember

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine percent of all failures come from people who

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>have a habit of making excuses. Safe to say, dan

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Yellow falls under that ninety nine percent. Please let me mad,

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>give Daniello lease the biggest he hall heeha heeha, You
