After a long night shift on Jan.10, Michael Roy hopped into his pickup truck with a co-worker and started the long drive home.
The ride could have been his last.
Roy, 32, often took a rural logging road for the 100-kilometre drive from the job site in Plaster Rock to his home in Saint-Quentin.
Snow was heavy through the desolate woodland trail known locally as the West Tobique Wood Road.
“We didn’t see much and we didn’t go fast,” Roy said.
Halfway through the drive, just as they were approaching a sharp turn over a bridge, Roy said his steering began to malfunction.
