The tractor-trailer crashed into a moving CPR train at about 45 miles an hour on April 26, 2003 at the Windy Lake railroad crossing, causing the train to derail, resulting in more than $2.5 million in damages...

Several other inspectors reported only one set of the 18 brakes was in decent working order at the time of the accident... Milos Peric, 47, was found guilty by Justice Robert Del Frate, who rendered his decision after a trial that lasted several months and took up 49 days of court time.The vehicle was not insured as Peric was experiencing financial difficulties at the time. The name of the company operated by Peric at the time was called City Capital...
