A class-action lawsuit alleging the defendants acted recklessly and unreasonably has been filed against the operators of a tour bus involved in a fatal rollover at Jasper National Park's Columbia Icefield. "The operator of the tour bus, the defendant Jane Doe, attempted to brake but was unable to reduce the speed of the tour bus. The tour bus lost traction with the road. "The defendants acted recklessly and unreasonably in failing to take reasonable steps to ensure that the tour bus and road were properly maintained, the operator of the tour bus was qualified and taking proper precaution and due care when operating the tour bus, and that the tour bus itself was properly maintained and in suitable mechanical condition." What about the general design of the tour itself and the embankment the tour bus went over?"
