daveAustin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Horrendous. Could happen to any of us and ours. Hoping the truck driver is appropriately punished and not some petty fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If found violating these, a small fine is paid on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP all the victims, and I hope that the injured will recover soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_lob Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 we have been told that the driver probably wont get any jail time. Life is so cheap here. All so incredibly sad and unfair. Another meeting with the police and truck owner friday.... I hope he gets his karma some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
