Kempton was behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer on the morning of Aug. 15, 2015 when a car driven by a 19-year-old local man swerved into his lane while traveling along Ness Lake Road. Despite Kempton hitting the brakes, they collided and the man was killed instantly. Kempton escaped serious physical injury but, according Justice David Crerar, he has been unable to shake off the memory of that day and suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Wallin said ICBC has not yet stated why the decision is being appealed and accused the Crown corporation of deploying enormous legal resources to deny his client a just award while also putting the blame on trial lawyers for its financial troubles.
