A truck driver has been found guilty for his role in a massive jet fuel spill that contaminated a B.C. Danny Lasante was convicted Thursday on one count under the Environmental Management Act for causing the leak of about 35,000 litres of fuel into Lemon Creek in the Slocan Valley. The tanker is shown after it crashed into Lemon Creek. "Had Mr. Lasante taken even a little more care, the spill might not have occurred," Mrozinski wrote in her judgment. The fuel "caused harm and even death among the aquatic life" in Lemon Creek and in the Slocan River downstream, according to the judgment.
