A viral video making its rounds shows an elderly man driving a pickup truck ramming and smashing a car several times in Winnipeg Canada.
The posts, which are the only account for now since there are no news reports, say the man was arrested but released with only one charge.
Because this happened in a vehicle in Canada it falls under the province’s HTA (Highway Traffic Act).
There is no assault charge or attempted murder under the HTA just reckless and dangerous driving and vehicular manslaughter (this is a federal offense and supersedes the HTA).
Dangerous driving is an offense that he will be charged with within Canada. It’s a provincial offense that can carry license suspension, fines, and jail time but since it’s provincial even at its worst it’s two years less a day.
