In a significant development from Mississauga, a Brampton court has acquitted a MiWay bus driver, Baljeet Dhaliwal, charged with dangerous driving causing death. The charge stemmed from a tragic incident on June 8, 2023, at the intersection of Derry Rd. and Rexwood Rd. , where a multi-vehicle crash resulted in the death of Sharron Williams, a 50-year-old mother and youth social worker. As Williams waited at a red light, her vehicle was struck by the bus, leading to a chain-reaction crash that injured nine people.<\/p>\n
Despite video evidence showing the bus barrelling into traffic, the court found reasonable doubt in the case, citing a lack of braking before the collision. The judge described the case as ‘perplexing,’ noting the absence of a clear explanation for the driver’s actions.<\/p>\n
