Herman Flad Dies In Accident
Champion Chuckwagon Driver Dies In Accident
Quote:
Veteran chuckwagon racer Herman Flad has died after his tractor-trailer collided with a vehicle on a northern Alberta highway Tuesday while pulling a trailer of his prized thoroughbreds to a race.
Flad, 68, was en route to Dawson Creek, B.C., for the last leg of the season's chuckwagon circuit when he died in the mid-afternoon crash on Highway 2 near Rycroft, 70 kilometres north of Grande Prairie. Fourteen of his horses were also killed in the crash when the trailer tumbled into a ravine.

RIP Herman. Sad to see a great chuckwagon driver go.
