Saw it in a report on global news last night or the night before. The roads in Saskabush are cursed this year. Seems to be happening everywhere though. My neighbor was subpoened this week to testify in a court case of careless driving against a semi driver who rear ended him sending him and the loaded grain truck he was driving into the ditch on our road. (797).
The semi driver was fighting the careless charge. How does a semi truck bear down on a tractor with a life size plastic cow on the back or a grain truck without being able to slow enough to avoid a collision????

Extremely sad story, haven't heard much beyond the wife being killed and the husband in critical condition.

Couple on a good will mission to promote drinking milk, More evidence we need better training for truck drivers.
