In 2022, Major successfully appealed his 2019 driving convictions for a Highway 16 crash that killed his two sons and girlfriend in 2016.
The Crown applied for leave to appeal — the ability to have their appeal heard by the country’s highest court — arguing the appeal court erred by excluding evidence from the event data recorder about the truck’s speed and brake application.“We are grateful that the Supreme Court of Canada declined to interfere with the SKCA decision, which we viewed as legally correct,” defence lawyer Brian Pfefferle said.
Major, whose six passengers were not wearing seatbelts, was driving 137 kilometres per hour five seconds before hitting a westbound semi, according to the EDR, which was part of an airbag control module seized from Major’s truck after the crash near Langham. Instead, the truck hit the semi at 118 km/hr., court heard. The speed limit on the grid road was 80 km/hr.
