According to police, Brian's family tracked his truck's GPS to a gas station on County Road 27 in Summerstown, Ont., just east of Cornwall. Police found his truck, which had his personal belongings inside, but Brian remains missing.''

"Surveillance video shows the missing man getting out of his truck at the gas station just after 4:30 p.m. on April 24, 2024, and walking to the front of his truck. He is not seen again on video," police said in a news release Friday.

''A mystery is unfolding in Ontario where a Newfoundland long-haul truck driver has gone missing, leaving family members back home desperate for information.

Fifty-one-year-old Brian Lush of Stephenville reportedly parked his transport truck at a Petro Pass truck stop in Summertown, Ont., near Cornwall, on Wednesday, but he hasn’t been seen since.

Lush was captured on surveillance video that day, wearing a blue hoodie, jeans and a ball cap.''

This gas station is right off the 401, and there is nothing nearby.
All of the postings on Facebook say the image on the left is him entering the store at 2:15. He purchased something then was on camera in front of his truck at 4:30. There are photos of the truck too. I’ll see if I can find a link to one.

UPDATED: SDG OPP post missing-person report for Newfoundland trucker last seen in Summerstown

Brian Lush was last heard from on Wednesday afternoon when he stopped at the PetroPass station near Summerstown.

''Family members starting on Thursday afternoon started making social media posts that were rapidly being widely-shared, regarding the whereabouts of Brian Lush, 51, a long-haul trucker with the company Downhome Movers and who was last heard from on Wednesday afternoon.''

Michelle Rice, a friend of the family, said Lush regularly travels between Newfoundland and Alberta, and the work is routine.
“This is very unlike him (to not be in contact with family),” Rice said.
Rice said she’s not aware of any medical issues that would lead to what at this point is a deep mystery that has family and friends extremely worried.
“His truck has been parked in the same place for the last couple of days,” Rice said. “There’s nothing that explains this.”

From 2:15 to 4:30 he was sitting in his truck?

From 2:15 to 4:30 he was sitting in his truck?

Location is a truck stop, so perhaps he was napping/eating/reading in the interim?

Edited: its website indicates 24-hour available amenities like washrooms, showers, wi-fi, lounge, laundromat, including parking.

Oh my, this is so odd. People don't just disappear. I wonder if another vehicle parked in front of his truck and he went somewhere in that other vehicle. Sometimes drivers go missing because someone steals their cargo, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I hope he is safe and just taking some time away.

“We appreciate offers of assistance from the public, but untrained civilians can actually interfere with our work, contaminating potential scent trails that our Canines could track, and interfere with possible evidence or signs that could lead us to locate Brian,” reads Monday morning’s statement.

Lush — who is described as 5-foot-11-inches tall, 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes — was last seen wearing a blue hoodie, jeans, and possibly a ball cap.''

This is very odd, to just vanish.

This all feels very David Schultz, being a truck driver on a run who went missing. I'm going to bet that, like David, Brian is somewhere with in a ~1.5 mile radius of the truck.

''Jake White, Lush's son, said his father didn't want to go on the trip. He said Lush wanted to stay home with his family. Chloe and Jake's mom is sick, and Lush's own mother died recently, he said.''

Tragically, Brian Lush was found deceased today, no foul play suspected. The cause of death is not being released “out of respect for family”. To me this implies suicide, but it’s purely my assumption.

There are comments on family and friends sm pages about him not knowing how much he was loved, so my thoughts are similar.

I work in the trucking infustry(in a small trucking company similar to Brian’s, within 25 minutes of where he disappeared), and all of our drivers and employees have been watching for him. This is heartbreaking. My understanding is that his partner(his children’s mother) has been very sick as well and he was helping to care for her in addition to working. I truly hope those kids(I know they’re adults but they are so young) don’t lose both parents.

A sad outcome. RIP
