'I’ve never seen a number on a piece of paper with my name on it and that much owing.”
An Ontario driver said he felt lucky to be alive following a horrific car crash in September of last year that left him hospitalized and needing surgery.But he was shocked when eight months later he got a bill for $37,860 to repair the utility pole he hit.
"I slid off the road and hit the utility pole and they want me to play for the damages to the pole and the repair costs," Simpson said.Simpson has received about eight notices to pay the bill and contacted CTV News Toronto after he got a final notice saying if he didn’t pay the bill it would go to a collections agency on Dec. 14.
"I think that's the main reason why you have insurance so like when this happens, Lord forbid, that you have insurance to take care of it,” said Simpson, who added “I have trouble sleeping at night. It's very daunting right now to constantly get phone calls and letters like these that say I owe almost $40,000.”
