Unsafe trucks * Canada - Caught by safety sweep
Surrey,British Columbia,Canada -The Leader, by Dan Ferguson -Apr 20, 2007: -- As the tractor-trailer pulled into the roadside safety inspection stop at the Highway 91 pullout, its leaky brake lines caught fire... The truck was spotted Tuesday by police helicopter Air One and intercepted by a ground patrol when it tried to avoid the safety inspection south of the Alex Fraser Bridge by taking a back road... The badly maintained rig was one of 73 commercial vehicles out of 153 that failed to pass a surprise inspection on day one of a three-day blitz by police and provincial ministry of transport inspectors in North and South Delta... Some of the safety violations uncovered were minor, like burned-out bulbs in brake lights. Others were far more serious, with some trucks having as many as four non-functioning brakes (on a six-axle unit)...
