The president of Loblaw Limited has apologized for a lawsuit the grocery chain launched against the driver of a van involved in a horrific crash in northern New Brunswick two years ago.
Allan Leighton says the company won't pursue the suit against Wayne Lord or the company that owned the van involved in the crash that killed seven members of the Bathurst High boy's basketball team and Lord's wife.
Leighton says Loblaw apologizes for a decision he says was clearly made without consideration of the specifics of the accident.
The Bathurst team was returning from a game in Moncton when their van struck a Loblaw truck during a snowstorm.
