Miranda和Josh Shaffer于5月结婚。如今,在West Saanich Road发生迎面相撞事故后,他们的家人正在筹款,以弥补收入中断、日常开支以及康复费用,而康复情况的上限仍不确定。Miranda伤势危重,被空运至温哥华总医院;她的兄弟表示,Josh今后可能会成为她的主要照护者。这些预期反映的是一个正在面对严重伤情的家庭,并非已经确定的医疗预后。1 15

最新进展是警方扩大了证据搜寻范围。Saanich警方在10月29日发布的呼吁中,请求任何人在10月27日于Saanich半岛或南部海湾群岛任何地方看到或遇到一辆特征明显的皮卡者提供线索。提供信息的人不必亲眼目睹碰撞事故,调查人员也可能需要其他相关信息。21

这辆车是灰色2003年款四门Chevrolet Silverado 4×4,货斗上装有一个支架,向前延伸至驾驶室后部上方。警方确认这辆车是事故涉事车辆之一。警方尚未公布该车的行驶路线;呼吁中列出的广泛搜寻区域,并不能证明这辆卡车曾经过所提及的每一个地点。21

这一区别凸显了警方呼吁的实际意义:当天早些时候曾记得遇到过这辆Silverado的人,可能掌握着调查所需的一环,却未必意识到这一点。侦探正在寻找有关该车在事故现场以外行驶情况的信息,而不只是更多关于碰撞过程的描述。

警方目前已确认的情况

2026年10月27日星期二晚上9:15刚过,警员接报赶到加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省Saanich的West Saanich Road 5300号路段。警方发现一辆北向行驶的车辆与一辆南向行驶的车辆迎面相撞。《时代殖民者报》确认,Miranda是北向行驶车辆的司机,Josh是乘客。5 1

警方表示,北向行驶车辆的司机被送往医院,伤势危重,随后被空运至温哥华总医院。该车乘客也被送往医院评估伤情。南向行驶车辆的司机在现场看起来没有受伤——这是初步观察,并非全面的医疗评估。5

根据警方10月28日发布的通报,南向行驶车辆的司机“拒绝依法提出的提供呼气样本要求,因此被捕”。这项调查涉及涉嫌酒后驾驶,但拒绝提供样本并非证明其受酒精影响的呼气检测结果;被捕也不等于已被认定有罪。5 1

重大犯罪组的侦探接手了调查。他们在10月28日表示:“预计将向检控机关建议提出刑事指控。”这是计划中的后续步骤,并非宣布已经建议、批准或提出指控。10月29日的更新补充了卡车描述,并扩大了征集目击线索的范围;该更新没有宣布任何起诉决定。5 21

因此,公开记录仍有重要问题未解:这辆皮卡曾行驶到哪些地方、其他目击者或录像可能显示什么,以及调查人员最终会向检察官提交怎样的案件材料。扩大征集线索是具体的调查步骤,并非对刑事责任作出的结论。

康复情况尚无定论

家人对Miranda病情最严重的警告,早已出现在10月28日发布的筹款页面上。它们并非伴随10月29日警方呼吁而出现的新医疗进展。她的兄弟Marty Milner描述称,她脑部出血、颈部两处骨折、手和脚骨折,并有多处割伤,包括头部受伤。他说,她正在接受一系列手术。15

她无法自主呼吸,很可能再也无法行走,也可能再也无法正常使用上半身。

Marty Milner 15

这些是Milner的话,也是他对她病情的描述。措辞中的限定很重要:“很可能”和“也可能”不能被说成确定结论。现有证据中没有独立确认的临床预后,能够证实她将永久瘫痪或永久丧失上半身功能;也没有经过核实的后续医疗更新可以确定她的长期康复情况。

Milner还写道,Josh在事故中一直清醒,并从残骸中爬出,胸部有一处血肿——即血液积聚。他形容Josh受到了严重创伤。家人预计两位配偶在可预见的未来都无法工作;待Miranda能够回家后,Josh可能会承担大量照护工作。这是家人的预期,并非已经确认的出院安排或终身照护计划。15

筹款旨在帮助支付治疗、长期物理治疗、房租、收入损失及其他日常开支。据《时代殖民者报》报道,截至10月29日周四上午,筹款金额已超过C$71,000,目标为C$100,000。10月30日查看时,页面显示有1,004名捐款者。这个较新的捐款人数并不意味着较早公布的金额是当前余额。1 15

实际的支持提议已送达Shallon Naturals——这是Miranda与母亲共同经营、位于Brentwood Bay的商店。Milner在筹款页面一则未注明日期的更新中表示,社区成员提出在Miranda和母亲无法到店工作期间担任志愿者。家人仍在安排团队,以维持商店运营。15

警方继续征集碰撞事故目击者和附近行驶车辆的行车记录仪录像,同时也扩大征集目击Silverado皮卡的线索。10月27日在Saanich半岛或南部海湾群岛看到或遇到这辆卡车的人,可拨打Saanich警方非紧急电话250-475-4321,并提供档案编号26-21541。即使是在West Saanich Road以外看到该车,也可能与调查有关。5 21

播出原貌 14 行
  1. A head-on collision left Miranda Shaffer in critical condition. Her brother says she'll likely never walk again, and police are widening their search for sightings of the pickup involved. They're asking people well beyond the crash scene to help. Where did that truck travel before the collision, and who saw it?
  2. Detectives want sightings from anywhere on the Saanich Peninsula or southern Gulf Islands on October 27. Someone who encountered the truck earlier that day could help, even without seeing the collision. Police haven't published its route.
  3. The truck is a grey 2003 four-door Chevrolet Silverado four-by-four. Its most distinctive feature is a rack mounted in the bed, extending over the back portion of the cab. Police identify it as one of the vehicles involved and want to hear from anyone who saw or encountered it.
  4. The collision happened on October 27. Miranda's brother published his warnings about her recovery on October 28. Police expanded their vehicle-sightings appeal on October 29. The latest development is that wider search for evidence; the family's medical warnings were already public.
  5. Miranda was driving north on West Saanich Road with her husband, Josh Shaffer, when their vehicle collided head-on with a southbound vehicle. Officers responded just after nine fifteen that evening, in the 5300 block. Miranda was taken to hospital in critical condition, then airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital.
  6. Miranda was undergoing a series of operations. Her brother, Marty Milner, wrote, “She is unable to breathe on her own, will likely never walk again, and possibly will never be able to use her upper body as well.” Her long-term recovery remains uncertain.
  7. Milner described a brain bleed, two broken neck bones, a broken hand and foot, and multiple cuts, including to Miranda's head. He said Josh remained conscious and crawled out of the wreck with a blood collection on his chest and severe emotional trauma. Police said the northbound passenger was also taken to hospital to have his injuries assessed.
  8. Community members have offered to help keep Shallon Naturals operating. Miranda runs the Brentwood Bay store with her mother. The family says they're working out how volunteers could run it while Miranda and her mother are unable to work there.
  9. Miranda and Josh married in May. Their family expects both to be unable to work for the foreseeable future. Milner says Josh will likely become Miranda's main caregiver when she can return home, potentially for a long time. The fundraiser seeks help with therapy, extended physiotherapy, rent, lost wages and daily expenses.
  10. By Thursday morning, October 29, supporters had raised more than seventy-one thousand Canadian dollars toward a hundred-thousand-dollar goal. That dated amount shows how quickly help arrived for the couple as they faced lost income and the costs of recovery.
  11. The fundraising page displayed one thousand and four donors on October 30. That count is newer than the dollar total. The family is also trying to turn offers of practical help into a volunteer team for the store.
  12. Police say the southbound driver refused a lawful demand for a breath sample and was arrested. They were investigating suspected impaired driving. The driver appeared uninjured at the scene. Major Crime Unit detectives took over and said they anticipated recommending criminal charges to prosecutors.
  13. Police haven't announced a charging decision. The arrest doesn't prove impairment or guilt, and the October 29 appeal adds information about the truck without announcing charges. Detectives are still gathering evidence about the collision and the vehicle's movements before deciding what case to put before Crown counsel.
  14. Police still want witnesses to the collision and dashcam footage from people travelling nearby. Their wider appeal also reaches anyone who encountered the Silverado elsewhere in the search area that day. Investigators are still trying to piece together where it travelled before the crash.
