Episode Details

A Mississauga bus driver has been acquitted of dangerous driving causing death after a June 2023 crash that killed 50-year-old Sharron Williams and injured others. The defense argued the bus’s brakes failed, forcing the driver to use the hand brake — a claim challenged by the Crown’s mechanic who testified the brakes were functional. Despite emotional testimony from the victim’s son, who called the verdict unjust, the judge found Dhaliwal not guilty, citing no conclusive evidence of criminal negligence. The case underscores the legal and technical complexities of traffic tragedy investigations — and the deep personal toll on those left behind.
