CRASH PILES INTO MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
OTTAWA, Ont. — The anti-truck group CRASH is blaming several recent weather-related, multi-vehicle accidents on Ontario’s Hwy. 401 on tired truck drivers.
CRASH, which stands for Canadians for Responsible and Safe Highways, calls trucking, “a sweatshop industry,” is currently meeting with municipal officials in St. Catharines, Windsor, Sarnia, Niagara Falls and Kitchener.
The tour’s goal is, “to stop federal and provincial governments from implementing trucker hours of driving rules here that are more lax than the current and proposed rules in the U.S.”
CRASH receives the majority of its funding from the nation’s railways.
