holy fuck ^^

yea this was awhile ago.. the douche mainlander killed 2 japanese women tourist and the driver of that taxi..

^
and people were blaming the taxi driver even though the 599 driver was at fault, excessively speeding and was supposedly drunk.

that's just sad, really sad. I can't imagine how the father is going to be able to cope with this

So to everyone who was hoping for this guy to get "appropriate justice"...

Driver in Surrey crash that killed 5 dies in hospital - British Columbia - CBC News

I'd quote it but I'm on my phone.

wow...was not expecting that.

i'm not going to lie...thats a pretty big let down but on the other side, i don't have enough faith in our system to give an appropriate sentence.


I wonder if they are going to explain this in more detail:

"Police say that Daniel Gore, 46, passed away Sunday afternoon after undergoing surgery for "a condition that was discovered as a result of being critically injured in the accident."

^ He was already on deaths bed. Probably discovered something when doing x-rays or other tests. Maybe something like a tumor or heart condition. Must have been severe if they operated in the condition he was in.

Brain condition may have caused Surrey crash that killed family | Globalnews.ca

If it's true that the tumour caused this then a real tragedy just turned even more tragic.

RIP.

i call bullshit, just trying to clear his name.

such a sad sad story...appears to be tragic for ALL involved.

you're a fucking douche bag.

I think you are owed an apology.

I personally thought the driver may have suffered a heart attack, stroke, seizure, or something of that sort, but didn't feel it was appropriate to speculate given such tragic circumstances. I hope the widowed husband and father can take some solace in the knowledge negligence didn't cause the accident.

May the victims rest in peace.

Never forget the fragility of life, seize and appreciate every opportunity you have with those you love.

You have a point. There's no a way a seizure or a un-diagnosed tumor can cause you to run a red light. I also find this hard to believe .

People are so quick to make judgments from their keyboards..places like rs and reddit can slay someones name in minutes.

Thank you for being a voice of reason(once again:-)

My Opa and Oma died in a car accident in December; Opa was driving and had a heart attack (revealed during an autopsy), it was ruled the reason he lost control. Opa and Oma's car struck another car, we met the driver's husband, and learned she suffered only relatively minor injuries. The loss was very sudden, I'm still dealing with it emotionally. I always return to the other driver being okay, though, and feel a bit better. The 32nd Driver's family will always return to their family member, ultimately, causing the death of 5 people. I can't imagine the pain that would accompany coming to terms with that knowledge. Let's not drag 32nd Driver's name through the dirt; it will not bring back the victims, it will not comfort either family, it will cause further pain to one.. there's no point.

I'm sorry for your loss, MindBomber. I miss my grandparents everyday too.

My younger brother has epilepsy. When someone is having a seizure they are complete unresponsive and have ZERO control of their body. All their muscles go stiff and shake uncontrollably.

I would say that it would be very easy for someone having a seizure to mash the gas pedal and speed through an intersection.

He was a princeling (offspring of the original CCP leaders) was he not?

I don't think you would be able to get your license if you were a risk of epilepsy.
You have to be medically fit to drive. You are risking the lives of those and everybody around you. My sister has anxiety and she can faint uncontrollably , so she chose not to get her license.

I think 120 is a very conservative estimate judging by pics of the debris.

wtf are you talking about, many at risk drivers slip through the cracks and get their license when they are hardly capable of backing up a car.

my aunt is about 45 now, she had never had any sign of epilepsy her entire life, about 2 years ago she began to have them completely at random, in the past 2 years she has had 3 i believe, her first one could have easily been behind the wheel of a car :rukidding:

My ex-gf has epilepsy and has been operating a motor vehicle for years. Albeit, it's a mild form but every now and then she has been know to "black out".

Same with my mom. When she was 55-ish she had her first....has only had one other one but is still allowed to drive.

Not ALL people are born with conditions and having an unexpected seizure at the wheel is no different than having a heart attack....or stroke...or aneurysm.

This case comes down to a very tragic chain of events and some might even say, bad luck. SIX people died and it looks like there is nobody to blame but fate. I hope that this news brings some form of comfort to the father\husband knowing that there was no malice involved.


On another note, Mindbomber, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. That is truly a gut wrenching thing to go through :(.
