Still cruisin' together': Grieving family hosts classic auto show in memory of victims of fatal crash
The Huckle family is hosting their third annual classic auto show this Saturday, three years after Jaimee Doyle and Nigel Sedge were killed in a crash.
The friends died on May 27, 2022, after their classic car was struck by an SUV during the RetroFest classic car cruise.
'Jaimee and Nigel lives were taken away too soon. Our families love and miss them dearly,' Doyle's mother Ruth Huckle told CTV News in a statement.
'They both lived life to the fullest. Family and friends – old and new – were always a big part of their lives,' Huckle says.

'(A) quote I always use; 'still cruisin' together'' Huckle writes. 'Jaimee and Nigel loved the classic vehicles, and this is my way of keeping their memory alive,'
Event details
The auto show will be at the Shrewsbury Community Center at 112 New Scotland Line in Blenheim, Ont. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday May 31.
Instead of a moment of silence, at 1 p.m., Huckle will ask participants to rev their engines and honk their horns.
'This always brings me tears,' she says.
Admission is free but they are collecting donations for the Blenheim Word of Life Soup Kitchen and Food Bank.
If the weather is bad, the event will be held the following Saturday, June 7.
'The Memorial Classic Auto Show is open to all makes, models and years; basically, anything with wheels,' Huckle says.
