02 Aug Harrington v. Sangha

             At approximately 11:30 a.m. on January 18, 2007, Mr. Hardip Sangha (“Sangha”) lost control of a tractor trailer he was driving north on Highway 97 at an “S” turn in the highway, near Sales Road, about 20 km south of Quesnel. He felt his vehicle slide across the road as the trailer swung around the tractor.
