Hope for a speedy recovery! It comes as no surprise of these situations happening! To fast for the road conditions, not slowing down when required. There are a lot of people driving these rigs that have no real experience! I have seen these trucks pass me when everyone should have been doing 50 kph they go by doing 80 kph. First responders working these roads need all the help they can get! SLOW DOWN! Hope they have a good investigation and if they find the perpetrator to be guilty THROW the book at them! Safe day to all first responders and those people making it work!
