BROCKVILLE – A Quebec truck driver has been found guilty on all charges for causing a chain-reaction pileup on Highway 401 near Prescott in 2017 that killed two people and injured three others.
In her nearly three-hour decision delivered this morning (April 23), Judge Adriana Doyle found Jamil Qureshi guilty of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Qureshi showed no emotion as the verdict was read.
Court heard how a line of two transports followed by three vehicles were all travelling slowly – about 40 kilometers an hour – or were almost stopped in the right eastbound lane on Nov. 27, 2017 around 10:30 p.m. Qureshi’s Volvo transport – travelling at 104 kilometers and hour with the cruise control on – plowed into the back of the line.
