Wife of tractor driver speaks day after police chase in Surrey
Global News
Global News has confirmed the man behind the wheel of the tractor is Chilliwack resident Bill Shoker, who possibly broke a bone in his back, according to his wife.
The wife of the tractor driver who flipped the vehicle while being chased by police confirmed her husband, Chilliwack resident Bill Shoker, was behind the wheel.
When Global News went to the Shokar’s home, a woman who identified herself as his wife said Bill Shokar was participating in the “STOP SOGI 123” protest that was a scheduled “Road Rally” starting in Chilliwack and ending in Vancouver.
Manjit Shoker said Bill has been involved in many anti-SOGI rallies in the region.
“He is OK, but he is having surgery either today or Monday,” Manjit said. “I think they are saying his backbone is broken or something like that. I do not know when he will return home. There are still tests they are doing.”
Majit said the incident was scary for her, and she does not know how or why the police chase began or why Shoker chose to drive a tractor.
SOGI 123 is a resource package designed to help teachers and school administrators reduce discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in their curriculum.
Manjit could not comment on the possibility of Bill being charged.
Global News obtained a video taken from inside the tractor taken by Bill, while he was driving on Highway 1 between Chilliwack and Abbotsford.
