TORONTO ? Ontario's ombudsman is launching a probe into how the province monitors drivers who may be a danger on the roads due to uncontrolled hypoglycemia.
Andre Marin says he was spurred to act after reviewing the case of Allan Maki, who was in diabetic shock when he caused a crash that killed three people in Hamilton in 2009.
Marin says the case raises serious questions about how the Transportation Ministry obtains information about drivers with uncontrolled hypoglycemia and what action is taken.
Maki was found guilty of dangerous driving in December 2011 and the ombudsman says family members of the crash victims came to him with the case.
