Broncos de Humboldt: the driver of the truck released on bail
The truck driver accused of being responsible for the tragic collision that decimated the Humboldt Broncos team briefly appeared on Tuesday in Melfort, Saskatchewan.
Jaskirat Sidhu, a 29-year-old man from Calgary, faces 16 charges of dangerous driving causing death and 13 charges of dangerous driving causing injury. He was released pending further legal proceedings, on bail of $ 1,000.
Parents of young hockey players who lost their lives or were injured in the April 6 accident witnessed the appearance.
"I wanted to come today to represent the families who would have liked to be here, but who could not [...]. Maybe he'll feel a little responsible for taking the lives of our sons, "said Scott Thomas, whose son Evan was killed in the collision, according to remarks relayed by the" Saskatoon Star Pheonix ".
The driver of the truck that collided with the Broncos bus did not approach the media outside the courthouse, nor did his lawyer.
Jaskirat Sidhu was arrested last Friday by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police three months to the day after the tragedy. The arrest was made possible by a long-term investigation to reconstruct the train of events that led to the accident, which left 16 dead and 13 injured among the players and staff of the junior hockey team.
