As of early Tuesday, the court has heard conflicting testimonies regarding the bus’s brakes. Dhaliwal claims the brakes failed during the incident. However, a mechanic testified that they were functional at the time of the crash.

Defense lawyer Jennifer Hue questioned this mechanic’s reliability. She argued that inspections performed by Peel police were insufficient. The bus was notably old—10 years—with over 710,000 kilometers on its odometer and 570 work orders logged.

The Crown countered these claims, asserting that Dhaliwal did not apply the brakes due to distraction. They stated there was no evidence of brake application until five seconds after the collision—a significant delay.

Justice David E. Harris remarked on the gravity of the situation, calling it “a large misjudgment.” The defense maintained that Dhaliwal was attentive and attempted to stop the bus.

Still, uncertainties linger. The exact cause of the collision remains unclear—was it due to brake failure or driver error? This question is central to determining Dhaliwal’s fate.

Sharron Williams, a 50-year-old woman, tragically lost her life in this incident. Her death highlights the serious implications of this trial for both families involved and public safety.

The court will continue to evaluate evidence as it seeks to clarify these crucial issues surrounding brake performance and driver responsibility.
