My wife and I were on holiday in the okanagan on the Hwy between osoyoos and Oliver when we were rear ended by a planet express transport truck at over 100kms per hour on July 27th, 2020. The driver; Sarvpreet Mann, was speeding and recklessly driving his tractor and trailer, he hit us so hard that my 2016 F150 was pushed into on coming traffic resulting in a head on collision that spun my truck 180 degrees at which time we were hit again by the tow behind trailer of the tractor/truck. As a result of this accident, my truck was totalled, my wife and I suffered extensive soft tissue injuries in our necks, shoulders, backs and ribs. I had to have surgery on 4 tears in my left shoulder rotator cuff and my bicep tendon. The accident closed the Hwy down for 3.5 hours and everyone involved, except the trucker and the young child he was travelling with had to go to two separate hospitals. I'm putting this review up because of the recklessness and disregard that this transport driver had when driving his partially unloaded rig on a small highway in the middle of summer with a substantial amount of traffic. Recovery is going ok, as I just had my final surgery 11 weeks ago and am now in the recovery stage. As an automotive mechanic, my shoulder is now only at 75% fully recovered and this man's actions have altered and changed my ability to work and do my job. My wife is employed by the Law Society of British Columbia and has permanent issues with her back, neck and shoulders as a result of his carelessness. I would attach pictures of the accident that shoe the devastation but this platform doesn't support attached photos. This truck driver changed both of our lives in a negative way and we were not in the new icbc "no fault" insurance process but received and are still receiving a hybrid version of it that quite frankly is unsatisfactory
