So what did the government do......

Sight lines should be cleaned up .
Min.50 feet before the ditch.

In western Alberta.there are a lot of 4 way stops where highways meet in the middle of nowhere.
There will always be at some time a sleeping,tired or distracted
Driver. That will blow the sign completely.
All the signs or rumble strips will not stop it.
With the 4 way the bus or anyone
Has the Chance to determine if that might happen.

Until anti collision is built into every vehicle.
You cannot prevent it.
Jailing the truck driver for life will not stop it from happening again.

Your right sawfly but massive fines for trucking companies alowing unprepared drivers on public hiways , and massive fines for “professional “driver schools not training drivers properly is a must and most likely would prevent a lot

no it's all bullshit. furrow has it right . drivers need to wake up . how many accidents has there been at wakaw ? melfort ? anything been done there ? it's got nothing to do with yard ? put the phone away , that'll help?

Sorry Case I cant agree. It does have something to do with the yard. I agree with Furrow and you in that you cant fix stupid when it comes to drivers sometimes but if you were sitting in the driver's seat of that bus would you not wish you could have seen past those trees. In my part of the world I think of the intersection at Highway 16 and Dalmeny road. There have been numerous deaths and injuries there and no trees but without exception every time I approach that intersection I have my senses at full alert because of stupid drivers but at least I have a chance to stop in time because of no visibility issues.

Love the sleeping policeman idea like in Mexico. Way better to wreck a vehicle bouncing in to the ditch than what happened there. May have been one fatality, but at least would have been totally by his own hand.
Two fatalities south of Cochin Wednesday night. Sounds like t-boned in the middle of the hwy pulling a u-turn.
Think there is a saying something like “when you are dead, u don’t know it, same as when you’re stupid”
Getting really sad when there is no more responsibility for ones own actions.
Guess when we have a leader saying that gropegate is a lesson for everyone to learn from, instead of taking responsibility for his own action, it is the people who put that asshat there, he never just showed up with the keys in his pocket one day!!!!
