02 Aug Harrington v. Sangha
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on January 18, 2007, Mr. Hardip Sangha (Sangha) lost control of a tractor trailer he was driving north on Highway 97 at an S turn in the highway, near Sales Road, about 20 km south of Quesnel. He felt his vehicle slide across the road as the trailer swung around the tractor. As this occurred, Mr. Raoul Thiels (Thiels) was approaching the same location driving a tractor trailer south, toward Williams Lake.

Thiels truck hit the bank of the ditch on the west side of the road and its trailer then pivoted across the travelled portion of the highway, blocking the southbound lane entirely and impinging significantly on the northbound lane....
