Episode Details

A Thunder Bay judge granted an absolute discharge to Ajitpal Singh, a trucker involved in a fatal crash, sparing him deportation. Singh was tailgating another truck that jackknifed, causing a head-on collision with Michel Pharands truck, killing Pharand and injuring Marie-Paule Landry. The judge found Singhs actions didnt worsen the tragedy, despite not leaving skid marks. Prosecutors sought a conviction with a driving ban and fine for deterrence. Family members expressed their grief and loss. Singh, with no prior record, had turned to faith, done community service, and quit trucking due to trauma. The judge imposed an eight-year driving ban and ordered Singh to pay ten thousand dollars to Landry, deeming deportation too harsh for the offense.
