LONDON, ONT A Kitchener, Ont. woman who smashed into a home causing the Woodman Avenue explosion in Aug. 2019 apologized tearfully at her sentencing hearing on Thursday. Daniella Leis cried as she told the victims and the court via Zoom, “I can’t express how truly sorry I am for what I have done.for that I will never forgive myself.” She added, I feel terrible for causing such significant damage.and I will never stop feeling sorry for my actions.” Before Leis spoke, four victim impact statements were read, all from those who lived along Woodman Avenue. Hailey Gray, who tried to pull Leis from her car on the night of the crash, told the court she is in therapy, adding “I now live in a constant state of anxiety.some days I just feel I’m going through the motions.”
