    We know the truck driver was distracted but I've wondered the same thing. Maybe Mr. Doerksen noticed the truck, maybe not. Everyone gets a bit complacent at times and this is a good reminder as to why we need to guard against it.

    On a side note I looked up the intersection again on google earth and I see that they've been by there and updated the street view since the crash.

    Should just deport him now IMO. I feel my tax dollars could be better spent in other ways.

    I agree especially since a Canadian prison is likely a 5 Star hotel compared to the snot hole he’s from. But can you imagine the up roar if he was just sent away after killing 16 people? You realize there’s at least 10 of them Indian ex-truck drivers doing time now in Ontario for killing people?

    I went through there last November (?), NB on the SK-35. It was unnerving seeing the memorial on the side of the road and knowing that so many people died on that very spot all in an instant.

    You do know Sikhism and Islam are two completely different religions right? The 72 virgins is the Islam belief. This guy is Sikh so I don't think they have that same belief.

    Maybe if Canadians would go to work and not complain about everything they wouldn’t have to replace all truckers with immigrants, now the situation will get worse because nobody will be able to afford to get a licence who lives here....
