Gorski Consulting has previously reported ( October 11 and November 23, 2025) on the strange reporting of a fatal collision that occurred on November 3, 2020 at the intersection of Southdale Road and White Oak Road in London, Ontario. Those articles are still available to be reviewed on this Gorski Consulting website. In the latest developments, the person charged by London Police, Bahaa Ali, was reportedly found guilty of dangerous driving causing death. It had been reported that Ali tried to convince the court that he was not the driver of the Mercedes that struck a Hyundai Sonata and killed a passenger in the Sonata, Joan Clubb. The judge did not believe the bazaar explanation. Ali’s sentencing is reportedly set for April 24, 2026.
For those following the Gorski Consulting articles, we have tried to explain that the physical evidence visible in the collision photos did not support the conclusion that Ali was travelling at 129 km/h at the time of the impact. Also we have tried to explain that, although the collision was of a substantial severity, one should not expect that the passenger of the Sonata should have died, particularly when she was initially reported (by CTV News London) to be alert and communicating with paramedics but that “…things would take a turn for the worse and Clubb would die in hospital“. None of these issues were reported to the public except through the Gorski Consulting articles and very few persons review those articles compared to the vast audience attracted by official news media.
When important matters like these are not publicly disclosed it is not just a trivial matter. Public understanding and opinion is shaped by what is reported and what is not reported. As has been apparent in the wider field of life, the public’s manipulation through misinformation and fake news is a growing problem. Without falling into a state of paranoia we need to be critical of what we are told to believe, think about the purpose of the message and what the messenger may be attempting to manipulate. With the advent of postings on the internet’s social media the navigational beacons that have kept professional, investigative journalism within a somewhat reasonable range of truth have been replaced by social media “influencers”. Anyone can now post anything about anything. And if that posting is capable of capturing a large group of impressionable persons truth does not matter. You cannot be fired for misrepresenting the truth if you are not a professional journalist. That is a dangerous recipe.
The lack of reporting of important issues surrounding collisions in Ontario is nothing new. It has been going on since motor vehicles were introduced on public roads and likely existed before that when collisions involved horses and buggies and trains in the 1800s. However, as our society has evolved, our ability to understand how collisions occur and the methods and equipment we use to reconstruct those collisions have become much more sophisticated. We are now able to say, with much more scientific certainty, that these events occurred in a certain way, and were caused by certain factors. And when this analysis is done in an unbiased way it can be helpful in resolving many collision questions. Regrettably Ontario’s courtrooms, and the reports about how they function, have not kept up with these collision reconstruction advancements.
