So sad, but better reporting would be good to help us grieve.... ""driven by two men""---I suspect not. But if 250 is correct--please provide more details.

I can't believe that with such a tragic story, someone has to have the exact proper wording before they can grieve.

Don't know if the road has changed, but there used to be a lot of ruts in the road around there from all the trucks.

How very sad, my sympathy to the family.
I think the ministry of highways need to look at the total number of accidents on this stretch of highway.
Another high accident spot is Hwy 97 and sales road in the Quesnel area.
The highway slants in both area's, has curves, and is in very poor condition.
The speed limit should be slowed down, why allow 100 km, in such high accident area's ?

very sad indeed and we were about 1/2 hour behind the accident, totally weather conditions. Clear, bare road one minute, then frozen rain-like conditions and minus one the next. There was at least 2 to 3 inches of fresh snow all of a sudden.
So sad!

Seems to me there are alot of fatal accidents on this stretch of road near Dunkley lumber. Maybe its time to look a little closer at the root cause of these accidents. They can't all be attributed to poor road conditions when the whole region suffers from poor road conditions.

RIP little fella!

Unfortunately most MV crashes are due to a lack of paying attention to driving on someones part.
