Bail Hearing For Alleged Street Racers Charged In Truck Driver's Death
city news
It will be an all day affair but the question before a Barrie court is worth talking about: should the two men accused in that horrific alleged street racing incident on Highway 400 last Monday be granted bail? Twenty-year-old Prabhjit Multani and 19-year-old Nauman Nusrat (left) face several charges, including criminal negligence causing death by street racing. Both are accused of driving up the busy highway at high rates of speed while weaving in and out of traffic, forcing a big rig driven by veteran truck driver David Virgoe to take heroic efforts to avoid yet more carnage. His evasive maneuvers meant he managed not to hit anyone else, but his rig tumbled down an embankment, slid into a ditch and flipped over. The 48-year-old was dead by the time rescue workers arrived at the scene. The Crown is expected to take the unusual move of calling five witnesses to the terrible accident, including the arresting officer who was first at the scene, as well as an officer with Project Erase, a police venture to halt street racing. Also in the courtroom: members of Virgoe's family, including his still grieving wife Debbie, who intends to follow the case through to the very end. |
when are they going to charge the trucker with speeding? and driving illegally in the left lane? he was just as much the cause of the accident.
too bad he's dead.. i would have liked to have seen him charged to send a message to all of the other dangerous truck drivers out there that you arent allowed in the left lane... and to stop speeding with your 50,000lb vehicles. |

The trucker was speeding? From all that I've read, the truck was in the center lane at the time of the accident as well...

Regardless of the truckers actions, those two fags shouldn't have been driving the way that they were. This is why they attach the label to everything. I've said it before and I'll say it again...That's not street racing, it was just dumb.
Besides, they were clearly trying to drift. |
Bah, truckers are on average far better drivers and rarely do they cause any problems, and if anything they don't speeed enough.
STRICTER LISCENCING NOW!!!! |

so we have 2 things here. tina was driving in the wrong lane, effectively blocking access between the driving lane on the right, and the left most passing lane. the lane she was occupying is the truckers passing lane. she was driving slow enough that she was probably being passed on both sides for her entire trip and blocking the trucks from passing slower traffic (like her) that were driving in the proper lane (the right most lane... otherwise known as the driving lane). the trucker would have to be going above 100km/h to pass her, most likely banging off his 115km/h speed limiter. Tina claims that the "racers" passed her on the right and "cut off" the truck as it was/or had just completed merging back into the middle lane. ALL 3 PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE EQUALLY GUILTY. the trucker backed up traffic and the stupid Tina helped block as well, so these kids flew past on the right (they were in a hurry to get to wasaga :smilie_d0 ) the possibility exists that the trucker saw them at the last second and swerved to avoid... or maybe the dumb kid brake tested him because he was pissed that the trucker was driving in an illegal way and blocking the passing lane. either way the "hero" trucker crashed his truck for no reason.. he wasnt hit, and the cars that cut him off (if true) were going faster so there was no possibility to hit them. |

Why would he crash his truck for no reason it makes no sense. He was experianced, definitly no rookie, he wouldnt just crash himself for fun.
