Prabhjot Cheema pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death and was fined $3,000 for a collision on Highway 17 in February 2021 that claimed the life of Schreiber mayor David Hamilton
THUNDER BAY — The transport truck driver who lost control of his vehicle resulting in a collision that claimed the life of Schreiber mayor David Hamilton has been fined $3,000.
The weather at the time was overcast with light snow and the highway surface was considered slippery. Police determined the driver, later identified as 69-year-old David Hamilton, was deceased. The cause of death was determined to be the result of multiple blunt force trauma injuries. “Mr. Cheema was driving at a rate of speed that was inappropriate for the road conditions at the time and was thus driving without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other persons using the road,” the agreed statement of facts reads.
“Driving the highway was difficult for a long time. Even now when I see a transport coming around a corner my heart starts to race,” she said. “I have to believe you feel regret for causing Dave’s death,” she said. “I want to forgive you. It’s difficult to do so when we’ve never even heard ‘I am sorry.’ An apology from you or even the company you work for would go a long way.”“The emotional damage we suffered and continue to suffer will never go away,” she said. “I have tried my hardest to forgive you Mr. Cheema because my family and my dad would want that. I don’t know if I am there yet, but I will be eventually.
Baidwan reiterated that Cheema is deeply sorry for his conduct that night and the tragic loss for the Hamilton family. “While no sentence can undo the damage done or approximate the loss of David Hamilton’s family, including Shirley and Marnie Hamilton and Mr. Hamilton’s friends, these tragic consequences demand a strong deterrent and denunciatory message,” Taylor said.
