This wasn't caused by a lack of training, though.
He sped through an intersection with an oversized stop signs at it, which featuring a flashing light, without even trying to stop. (Source)
Ok, so when are we going to change trucking regulations to help out underpaid fatigued drivers?
I worked in the industry for ten years. A big reason I got out was being pushed by bosses to drive more and more for less and less money. This whole incident is a symptom of larger issues that I don’t think are being addressed.
I doubt it. This is one chucklefuck not paying attention. He killed a bunch of people and should never see the light of day again.
It’s not like this was a tragic accident of sliding on ice, swerving to avoid a car, or any number of things. This human decided to barrel through a stop sign and murder children. Whatever he gets isn’t enough.
I do like the list of completely avoidable incidents that gets labelled as unavoidable here. Some y'all are telling on yourselves.
The guy didn't decide to "murder children". That's a gross bit of fairy tale weaving. Whatever the reason he didn't come to a stop at the stop sign - a thing many people do on the regular, and a thing that truckers in particular do all of the time, as they're often on a time crunch - or didn't notice the bus coming, none of them amount to murder.
Incompetence isn't intent, and the outcome doesn't define the crime.
It's telling that all of this anger and vitriol has lingered around the death of some hockey babie when the similarly tragic Bathurst Boys in Red collison resulted in no charges and relatively little public outcry. The lives of baskerball playing kids are worth a fraction of those of hockey playing ones in this country, it seems.
