MP Helena Guergis and her assistant, Valerie Knight, have been hospitalized after their car was hit by a vehicle going through an intersection in CFB Borden, 25 kilometers southwest of Barrie, Ont. Guergis, who is five months pregnant, was being driven to a spending announcement to be made by Defense Minister Peter MacKay at a military base in her riding of Simcoe-Grey. Angela Foulds, another one of Guergis’ staff, said that Guergis and Knight are doing fine, but were taken to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston for observation.
