Trenton, Ontario. Teen Fighting For Her Life In Hospital After Single Vehicle Collision – Kingston | The Canadian News

Jordan Bowman is a typical teenager.

The 12th grader at Bayside High School in Trenton, Ontario, enjoys basketball and hockey and hitting Netflix.

But her family’s world fell apart on the night of November 25 when they received a phone call telling them that Jordan had been injured in a car accident.

His car went off the road, collided with a hydraulic post and overturned.

“I instantly felt sick to my stomach,” says Jennifer Loveless, Jordan’s mother.

Jordan was sent to QHC Trenton Memorial Hospital, where he was put on life support and later transferred to Kingston General Hospital.

“He was in Kingston for a week and he started doing really bad and they put him on another life support system called the ECMO machine,” says Loveless.

“Then they sent him to Toronto and now we are at Toronto General.”
