The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced Friday that they have arrested the driver of a truck that collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos' junior hockey team in April, which resulted in 16 deaths and injury to 13 others. The semi-trailer driver, 29-year-old Jaskirat Sidhu, who was not injured in the crash, is charged with 16 counts of dangerous operation of motor vehicle causing death and 13 counts of dangerous operation of motor vehicle causing bodily harm, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said at a news conference Friday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, 29, was detained at his home in Calgary, Alberta, and would appear in a provincial court in Saskatchewan next week. Everyone from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump to Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth II paid their respects to the victims, their families and the survivors of the accident, which occurred in Saskatchewan on the Broncos' way to a playoff game.
The driver of the tractor-trailer that collided with the Humboldt Broncos team bus is arrested and is expected to face 29 charges.
