Driven: How the Bathurst Tragedy Ignited a Crusade for Change By Richard Foot In the early hours of January 12, 2008, tragedy struck when a school van collided with a tractor trailer, claiming the lives of seven members of a high school basketball team and their coach's wife. The impact was devastating, not just for the families involved, but for the entire community. From this horrific event, two women were transformed into unlikely agents of courage and change. Ana Acevedo and Isabelle Hains, who lost sons in the accident, pushed the provincial government to hold an inquest and implement safety measures that would make it safer for children to travel to extracurricular activities. Their determination and perseverance had a lasting impact on their province and beyond. This book tells the story of the Bathurst tragedy and the two women who fought for justice in the name of their sons, revealing the truth behind one of Canada's worst school tragedies.
