A trucking company based in Edmonton, Alberta, shared photos and dash cam video in hopes of helping police located motorists involved in a road rage incident that led to an accident involving an oversized load.
DBI Transport shared dash cam video captured on Wednesday, June 11 on Highway 97 in the Kelowna area.
Company officials explained the events leading to the accident involving a modular home:
“At approximately 7:43 a.m.our truck was passed by a 1-ton flatbed with the name “KDL” on the side. Our pilot reported that a piece of drywall came out of the back of this truck striking a car behind the 1-ton. This event led to a road rage game of cat and mouse in front of our driver who did his best to maintain distance until both vehicles ended up in his lane and came to a complete stop. While trying to avoid hitting these vehicles on the highway, our driver took evasive action and performed a hard brake application. The force of the braking application caused the brackets on the underside of the modular to fail, therefore allowing the dolly to slide out from the back of the load and ending up where he did. The other vehicles involved left the scene.
We stand behind the actions taken by our driver to ensure nobody was injured in the events that occurred in front of him. We apologize for the significant travel delays encountered in the area today.
If anyone recognizes the truck or car in the video please contact the Kelowna RCMP.
We were able to move the modular off the highway and all work was completed under the direction of Worksafe BC.“
