Blue lights coming to Sask. tow trucks
Following the death of a Saskatchewan tow truck driver during a blizzard last month, the provincial government hopes to make the roads safer.
On Thursday, the province passed legislation that would allow tow trucks to have blue lights, in addition to the current amber ones.
It comes after the death of tow truck driver Courtney Shaefer, who died on the job during a blizzard near Gerald, Sask.
“It is good to see some good come out of it and this fast,” Corey Schaefer, Courtney’s brother, said. “Hopefully it prevents something like this happening to another family.”
