This has inspired thousands of Canadians to sign their drivers license as organ donors...
Still sad...

Tomorrow, hundreds of people where I work will either wear green or a hockey jersey (any team) in support of Humbolt.
Very sad, both.

~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~

I know the RCMP accident investigation team is at work but the crash took me back immediately to my thoughts in Iowa of "dying in those trees over there" as a tractor trailer bore down on us from behind on a 2-lane highway. However, "not today" saw us able to keep the Mini's left hand wheels on the very edge of the pavement as the right side pounded along on the lower, rough shoulder. Then the same rig ran a sedan off the highway on the next prairie rise. No accident!
I believe that driver was zoned out, half awake, driving in a stupor, simply not seeing smaller vehicles ahead. Remarkably, the driver stopped at a RED light a few miles farther west, where we caught up and got photos of the company & vehicle ID.
There are unguided 'missiles' on our highways.

The truck is heading West on 335, bus North on 35. Both are 100kph highways
Truck has a stop sign and flashing red light. Trees create a blind spot.....but you're stopping, right.
I have a hunch that the truck makes this drive all the time and has a habit of "slowing" at the sign.... a common practice in these wide open empty spaces.
The tandem truck was fully loaded.
There are no rumble strips on 335.....I think there soon will be.
There are also 6 crosses in the ditch by the trees for 3 adults and 3 kids that were killed at same intersection a few years ago

Not sure if the news in the States even reported.
About an hour or so from me
I didn't know anyone, or relatives....just shocking though. Prime Minister Trudeau even flew to Humboldt for a vigile
