I was almost killed by a "drifting semi", two years ago on Highway 37, while doing a job out in Ft. Saskatchewan. I took the ditch and the trucker managed to keep it on the road, but it was way too close for comfort.
Lots of "bull balls" on that particular highway too...

Also lots of slow moving agricultural traffic.

A very dangerous combination.

Maybe we need to twin 37 as well?

What a travesty...how dare those nasty politicians.

The intersection at Namao (with Hwy 28) is usually good for at least one multi fatality accident a year.

Sad situation with what transpired here, but looking at the scene? That's wholly on the idiot that decided to go ahead and attempt to pass.
37 is bad too. Especially with all the semis and other trucks and the sun in your eyes depending on which way you're going.
