In the early evening of June 23, 2008 the plaintiff Erin McRoy (formerly
known as Jason Michael Currie) was driving a yellow and white taxi (the Taxi)
en route to the City of Vernon when he attempted to turn left onto Highway 97
at the intersection with Meadowlark Road (the Intersection). At the same time,
the defendant Allan Sharp was driving a delivery van (the Van) owned by the
defendant Karen Lorraine Taylor northbound on Highway 97 approaching the Intersection.
The Taxi crossed over a portion of Highway 97 with the intention of turning
left into the southbound lane when the Van collided with the drivers side of

negligence of the defendant Sharp.Evidence...
