This morning two trucks were involved in a rear end collision on highway 13 in Laval. The truck following in the rear collided with a metal shipping container completely destroying his cab and killing him on impact. My sympathies go out to his family, this a constant reminder how dangerous it can be to be a professional truck driver.

Worst part is both transports involved are local companies Simard and Montreal motor express. Driver was only 28 years old :(

It's a small world we live in...just found out I knew the guy. His wife is due to give birth to their child in not too long. R.I.P. Jimmy!

That's horrible. Everytime I'm in that truck in bad weather or sketchy situations, I think of my wife and my two year old son. My heart goes out to his wife and unborn child, that's terrible.
