Sudbury, Spanish, Thunder Bay

Sure looks like someone was in the wrong lane.

 

Just taking your life in your hands on the roads now. Especially in NW Ontario.

 

My best friend called me yesterday and told me about the crash on #17.
He and his wife were heading for the cottage and spent 5 hours waiting before traffic began to move.

It's tragic but not a surprise, can't even count all the crashes I've seen over the years or close calls I've had on #17, cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, moose, motorhomes, RV's and etc.
The highway isn't dangerous, just the people who drive on it.

 

Ontario Provincial Police have confirmed that a Thunder Bay resident was among the three individuals killed in a head-on collision between two transport trucks west of Sistonen's Corners last Thursday.

OPP on Monday identified him as 49-year-old Kenneth MacDonald.

Also killed were 23-year-old Gurpreet Singh of Mississauga and 24-year-old Karambir Singh of Brampton.

The two were in an eastbound transport while MacDonald was driving a westbound tractor-trailer.

Hmm, I'm going to take a guess as to who was in the wrong lane...

 

Its gotten significantly worse this winter than any other year previous with bad drivers on the road.

I don't know if its a cultural thing, a I-don't-give-a-####-about-anyone-but-myself attitude, lack of pay attracting decent drivers or just piss-poor judgement skills.

The amount of stupid and the amount of times I've almost gone off the road to avoid these ####-heels is just insane. Just lucky that I haven't caught one of them at a cardlock yet.

 

Throw two drivers under 25 years old in a truck together, what could possibly go wrong? The young Indian drivers especially the truckers drive like idiots. Before anyone calls me racist, my parents are Indian. Knew 3 young drivers around my age that drove or still drive their trucks like complete idiots.

Despite all that, sad for all involved.
