FACTORY TRAGEDY
Despite injuries, drags man
across three lanes of traffic
after minivan catches fire
BYELECTION DAY
JEFF GREEN
STAFF REPORTER
Geoff MacBride remembers the deafening crash — and the horrifying feeling
of flying through the air.
Then he heard the screams of bystanders as the minivan that had just hit his
SUV burst into flames, its driver
trapped inside.
Without a second thought, the off-duty paramedic sprinted toward the burning van to try to save the life of the driver
who had just endangered his own.
MacBride, 37, pulled out the driver and
dragged him across three lanes of traffic,
fearful the van would explode at the
crash scene near Woodbine Ave. and
O’Connor Dr. Friday afternoon.
“It’s amazing that I’m alive, that’s all I
keep thinking,” MacBride said Sunday.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions apply in respect of all print and
digital advertising. Insertion orders are accepted subject to these
terms and conditions. Terms, conditions, rates or agreements not set
out in these terms and conditions or in our current rate schedules
are not binding on the Toronto Star, a division of Toronto Star
Newspapers Limited (“the Publisher”) unless otherwise mutually
agreed in writing.
These terms and conditions are deemed to be incorporated into
every advertising contract between Publisher and advertiser/agency.
Submission of advertising subsequent to receipt of such a contract
or of these terms and conditions constitutes acceptance of these
terms and conditions.
Deadlines to place and cancel advertising may vary depending
on placement of advertising and printing schedules.
Rates quoted are for all advertising and Publisher reserves the
right to classify all advertisements. Applicable taxes are extra. A
valid contract must be in place in order to obtain contract discounts.
Contingent orders will not be accepted.
Extension of credit to advertising agencies is based on the
agency’s acceptance of liability for all advertising placed by it and
billed to its account. No endorsement, statement or disclaimer on
any insertion order, cheque or otherwise, shall act as a waiver of this
condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any insertion
order, the advertiser and the agency shall be jointly and severally
liable to Publisher for payment.
All advertising must be prepaid in advance, subject to extension
of credit approval. The withholding of credit approval by Publisher
shall not relieve advertiser from complying with these terms and
conditions. Where credit terms are granted by Publisher, accounts
are due and payable when rendered. Accounts are considered
past due if payment is not made by the end of the month following
billing. Payment in foreign currency must be made at the prevailing
Canadian rate of exchange. Failure to comply with credit terms
and/or to pay invoices may result in the curtailing or withdrawal of
credit privileges, and in Publisher ceasing to accept advertisements
from advertiser/agency. The Publisher may, at its discretion, provide
access to electronic invoices (i.e., e-billing) rather than printed
invoices. The Publisher may, at its discretion, provide access to
electronic images of the applicable pages for retrieval by advertiser
(i.e., e-tearsheets).
The Publisher may increase advertising rates at any time and all
contracts are accepted subject to this condition. The advertiser may
cancel any contract without short rate penalty on notice within 15
days after higher rates are made effective by Publisher.
Advertisers will be charged for space occupied from cut-off rule
to cutoff rule, not exceeding space ordered. The printing of key
codes used to track coupon redemption is not guaranteed. If the
publication of the Toronto Star is restricted or curtailed in any way,
rates quoted here or in any contract and the size or placement of
any advertisement shall be subject to modification without notice
by the Publisher. Press limitations or other causes may require the
Publisher to limit the availability of colour, insert distribution and
other special classifications on selected occasions during the year.
The Publisher reserves the right to revise, reject, discontinue or
omit any advertisement, or to cancel any advertising contract, for
reasons satisfactory to the Publisher without notice and without
penalty to either party. If, in the Publisher’s opinion, revisions are
required to any advertisement prior to publication, the Publisher will
notify advertiser. The Publisher may insert the word “advertisement”,
“advertorial” or “advt.” adjacent to any copy.
Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all advertising
positions are at the sole option of Publisher. Publisher will try to
comply with position requests and other stipulations that appear
on insertion orders, but cannot guarantee that such requests will
be honoured. Adjustments, reinstatements or refunds relating to
the position and/or section in which an advertisement has been
published are at the sole discretion of Publisher.
Advertiser is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all proofs
and corrections to proofs. The liability of the Publisher for damage
arising out of errors in advertisements is limited to the amount paid
for the space actually occupied by the portion of the advertisement
in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to the
negligence of the Publisher’s employees or otherwise. The liability
of the Publisher for damage arising out of non-insertion of any
advertisement is limited to the amount received by the Publisher
for such advertisement, whether such non- insertion is due to the
negligence of the Publisher’s employees or otherwise. The Publisher
accepts no responsibility for loss of profit or any type of damages
whatsoever, including any arising from the exercise of any of its
rights, non-insertion of any advertisement or any error made in
any advertisement whether such error is due to the negligence of
the Publisher’s employees or otherwise. If an error is made by the
Publisher, which in its judgement materially affects the value of an
advertisement, a corrected advertisement will be inserted once upon
demand without further charge. Such “make good” insertions will
not be granted on minor errors, which in the Publisher’s judgement
do not lessen the value of the whole advertisement, or where the
advertisement has been placed past the Publisher’s deadlines for
submission.
The advertiser agrees to indemnify the Publisher for any losses
or costs incurred by the Publisher as a result of publishing any
advertisement which is libelous or misleading or otherwise
subjects the Publisher to liability. This indemnity shall apply to
all advertisements published, even if produced by the Publisher
on behalf of the advertiser. The Publisher expressly disclaims all
warranties, representations and conditions of any kind, express or
implied, by statute or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
All of the Publisher’s limitations of liability and disclaimers set out in
these terms and conditions shall apply notwithstanding the breach
of a fundamental term or condition or a fundamental breach.
All materials produced by the Publisher will remain the property
of the Publisher. Copyright in such materials shall be owned by
the Publisher. The Publisher will not be responsible for the return
of materials supplied by the advertiser unless return delivery
instructions are received when the advertisement is placed.
Deadlines are subject to change. Please confirm deadlines with
your Toronto Star sales representative.
