TRAGEDY IN PERTH: Investigations continue into why a farm worker failed to ...

They didn't have to die.

David Armando Blancas-Hernandez ran a stop sign with a van, killing himself, nine co-workers and a London trucker, the crash fallout rippling far beyond Ontario.

Why the 45-year-old immigrant farm worker failed to stop, triggering one of the deadliest road disasters in recent Ontario history, is one question.

Why the New Hamburg man didn't have the required F-class licence to drive the 15-$passenger van, only the G licence most Ontario drivers have, is another.

Is someone - the employer or someone else - potentially criminally responsible?

At a news conference Wednesday in London, police acknowledged there are more questions than answers about Monday's rural road disaster near Stratford that killed 11 people when the van loaded with 13 migrant farm workers, all but one from Peru, was broadsided by a straight truck driven by Londoner Christopher Fulton.

What police do know, is the horrific crash was preventable.

"This crash did not have to happen, and these lives need not have been lost," said Chief Supt. John Cain, the OPP Western Region commander. "Driver error is the largest contributing factor to collisions in Ontario."

On the first question, about why the van driver ran the stop sign, police say they're still exploring fatigue and distraction as possible explanations.

Was Blancas-Hernandez tired, after spending a gruelling day working on a nearby poultry operation vaccinating chickens?

Had something happened in the van or beyond to cause him to lose attention?

Is there a criminal negligence case to investigate? An OPP West Region spokesperson, Sgt. Dave Rektor, said it's too early to determine.

The workers had spent the day on a Hampstead-area farm, vaccinating chickens, a dirty job known as chicken-catching.

They were in a van going west on Line 47 in Hampstead when Blancas-Hernandez ran the stop sign, colliding with Fulton's truck going south on Perth Road 107.
