Both men are being recognized for helping a young family involved in an unusual accident.

It was the early morning of June 29, 2012, and Pennacchio was at the wheel, traveling on Highway 17 in northern Ontario. Milevskis was asleep. After coming around a sharp curve in the road, Pennacchio saw a vehicle that had just been involved in a serious accident. A woman and two children were standing nearby.

Pennacchio pulled over and woke Milevskis up. The men gathered safety jackets and flashlights and then approached the vehicle. They were astounded to see a large moose lying on the ground – it had just collided with the car!

The father, who had been driving, seemed injured and was not moving. He was still inside the vehicle. The mother was quite upset. Using her cell phone, she was attempting to describe the location of the accident to a 911 operator, but her unfamiliarity with the remote area made this very difficult.
