It was a bad week. Relative of a friend was in a truck rollover. Not wearing seatbelt and was thrown and rolled on. 23 year old fighting for his life . If he survives he will be paralyzed waste down. One foolish mistake of not wearing a seat belt made it much worse.

So truck drivers fault again. Lets be honest here, the amount of truck traffic has increased exponentially on our failing highways due to just in time globalization and nobody wanting to carry inventory anymore.
At the same time no improvements to these east west traffic trade routes across the country.
At the same time, the quality of long haul transport drivers and companies has seriously declined in the past few years.
How may overpasses does $600B buy.

How do you figure it’s the trucks fault? Or you’re just saying they’re going to get the blame?
Bus had a stop sign to cross the west bound lanes and a yield sign to cross the east. TransCanada has right of way.
Lots of the photos include a Super B right up beside the semi. Either the trucker was concerned and pulled up that close or he was also extremely close to hitting the bus and finally managed to stop there.

The bus driver crossing #1 Highway, got through first lane heading west but clearly needed to stop for traffic coming in east-bound lane. The responsibility that comes with driving a passenger bus demands defensive driving attention. Just speculating but have never seen this intersection.

Not the time for your repetitive rant Jazz, Dauphin has a large farming community.
Think for once!
RCMP and witnesses to the tragic accident, have stated the simi-driver had the right of the way.
