SHERBROOKE, , Que. — A lawyer for the driver of the train that crashed in Lac-Megantic in 2013 is no longer seeking a stay of proceedings in his client’s criminal case.
Thomas Walsh says Tom Harding wants to prove his innocence.
On July 6, 2013, a runaway train carrying crude oil from the United States derailed in downtown Lac-Megantic and exploded, killing 47 people and destroying part of the town centre.
Harding and two other men are each facing 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death related to the tragedy.
