Story out of Steinbach, Manitoba:
Next time you're renewing a piece of government-issued I.D., don't overlook the organ donation form that comes along with it.
That's the message friends and family are sharing following the death of 16-year-old Tyler Klassen, who was fatally injured in a car crash two days after he filled out a donor consent form while signing up for his first driver's licence.
Klassen was involved in a single-vehicle incident on a rural road outside Steinbach, Man., on Saturday. Police say the vehicle went into the ditch and hit the trees at the side of the road. Klassen was seriously injured in the incident, and a 16-year-old passenger was also injured but in stable condition.
"His mom is just full of mixed emotions right now," Doreen Dueck, a family friend, told CTV Winnipeg. She said Klassen's mother is devastated and heartbroken by his loss, but also "full of joy" because her son is "going to be saving 45 lives" as an organ donor. Cont. (Video)
