Winnipeg Free Press: Former prosecutor says trucker could have been arrested, RCMP disagree

November 22, 2024 —

A former Crown prosecutor says Manitoba RCMP likely could have arrested a semi-truck driver now wanted on Canada-wide warrant, but police argue it wouldn’t have stopped the man from leaving before they pressed charges.

Mounties continued the search Friday for 25-year-old Navjeet Singh, who was charged Wednesday in a fatal collision that killed Sara Unger, 35, and her eight-year-old Alexa Unger.

“I think anybody looking back on this turn of events on this case might say, ‘Well, wasn’t it foreseeable, wasn’t it predictable that this could have happened?’” said former prosecutor and assistant law professor at the University of Manitoba, Brandon Trask.
