RCMP Constable Gerald Fortis was on duty in Chilliwack, BC and had arranged to travel home on his break so he could watch his 3 young children open their presents. Enroute in his patrol car, he encountered a patch of ice and his vehicle skidded into a cement barrier. His seatbelt and the airbag were not enough to protect him because of the angle of the impact. He died from multiple injuries.

He survived by his wife and 3 children.
