On Friday, a dash cam video of a white Ford van marked with the logo of Canadian contracting company Black & McDonald was uploaded to YouTube by user Saif Khan.
The 45-second clip — captured with the rearview dash cam of another car — shows the van driver changing direction as he drives so he can plow through large puddles — in the process, soaking three sets of pedestrians. Almost a million people have viewed the video since it was uploaded.
On Sunday, Gatien also told the Ottawa Sun that the driver could face assault charges for endangering pedestrians by veering close to the curb and splashing them with water.
