Maybe the trees just wanted to go home??

How about undue care and attenion

Looks like he was coming up the hill….dozed off an crossed the center line waking up on his side in the rhubarb. Hope he’s okay.

Keep right except to crash!

You folks really irritate me, so I felt the need to comment. The driver’s name was John Thompson, one of the safest log truck drivers Prince George will ever know. The cause of the accident appears to be a serious brain aneurysm. He was medevaced to Vancouver, and may not survive.

Thank you Greg. Shame on all of you. I guess your all perfect.

Let’s just hate everything that supports your lifestyle.
Remember how good you have it.
Truckers make the hardest living and give you your sweet existence. For now.

Thanks Greg. You’re right, some of the comments people make leave a lot to be desired.
I was at the scene, and there is no doubt the driver had suffered a medical problem. Also, it was obvious the truck was traveling very slowly when it entered the ditch.

The speculation on this site when an accident occurs disgusts me.

Driverless trucks , cars , taxis , delivery drones , can’t come fast enough for me .

Just last week a company in the state released a driverless commercial highway truck. All the driver does is input navigation routes and takes over to park it at a dock. They say it will be the future of trucking in the next ten years.
