A Quebec trucker’s prolonged inattentiveness on an Ontario highway three years ago triggered a horrific crash that left four people dead and several others injured, a judge has ruled, finding the man guilty of four counts of dangerous driving causing death. Mohinder Saini’s transport truck plowed into 20 vehicles that were slowed and stopped in a construction zone on Oct. 2, 2015, according to the decision, which also found the driver guilty of nine counts of dangerous driving causing serious bodily injury. “This is not a case of momentary or ‘mere’ inattention,” Justice Bryan Shaughnessy wrote in the decision issued last week. Saini then struck another transport truck before coming to a stop, the judge wrote. “He blamed others for the cause of the collision,” the judge wrote.
