Remember the crazy collision on the Western Highway last month? It started with a wide load Mennonite house being carried down the road, and a James Bus that pulled over to give it way.
When a truck tried to squeeze between the wide load and the bus, the conductor was flung outside and pinned by his legs. Well, now, the conductor, Norman Castillo has died as a result of the injuries he sustained from the accident. Today, in sharing the news of his passing with the media, Superintendent Boaster gave his condolences to the family:
