$700 fine for BC Highway 1 crash caused by loose dump truck tire "an insult," victim says

A Rosedale, B.C., woman who was involved in a terrifying crash last week is speaking out about the fine handed down to the driver who caused the incident. The crash happened at a high rate of speed on Highway 1, and Leanne Smith says she is lucky to be alive. Smith was travelling westbound near Number 3 road in Abbotsford on Thursday when a dump truck going the other way lost two of its tires. One of the tires careened across the highway and embedded itself in the hood of Smith’s SUV. The dump truck driver has since been charged for making a false or deceptive pre-trip statement and for driving a non-compliant vehicle — he was fined $707. As Global's Taya Fast reports, the victim is counting her lucky stars, but calling the fine for the other vehicle an insult.
