He says Sodhi came to Canada about three months ago and was a long-haul trucker who was taking the bus to meet up with family for the holidays. Police suspect icy roads were the cause of the bus crash that left four people dead and dozens of others injured east of Merritt near the Loon Lake exit.Singh, who is also a long-haul truck driver, says the stretch near the site of the crash along the Okanagan Connector is treacherous and one of the worst he's experienced in North America.
