0:00A wild crash in Highway 1 west of Field British Columbia, back on December 8, 2023, had a semi-truck barreling right over a toe. Truck and a Mercedes. The semi flipped completely, wrecking all three vehicles beyond repair and trapping its driver inside the cab. Nobody on the scene got hurt, which is straight up miraculous. The Mercedes have been pulled over for speeding and was getting towed away at the time. A highway patrol officer, the tow truck driver and the Mercedes driver were all right there handling things, safely stepped aside when the semi came through like a runaway freight train. Folks involved Dodge Death by inches, RCMP, caught at pure luck that the officer, tow operator and Mercedes driver weren't flattened. The semi-driver from Alberta could have easily been killed too, pinned in the wreckage after the rollover. Fast-forward to April 8, and the 38-year-old driver, Dalbeer Singh Jatsu, got hit with a guilty verdict for dangerous driving. His sentence includes
