Judge wants Alberta doctors to report unfit drivers after deadly crash at school
ST. PAUL, Alta. — An Alberta judge says the province should require doctors to report unfit drivers following a deadly crash at a small-town school.
Provincial court Judge Karl Wilberg says in his fatality inquiry report, released Thursday, that the tragedy four years ago could have been prevented if such a policy had been in place.
“Long-standing institutional failures, deadly in their impact, that lead to avoidable injury and death should not be ordinary occurrences,” Wilberg wrote.
“These failures are still with us today and lives remain at risk.”
