Deportation hearing set for truck driver in deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash
CALGARY — A deportation hearing for the truck driver in the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash has been scheduled for next month.
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu caused the 2018 crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others.
The rookie Calgary trucker, a newly married permanent resident from India, ran a stop sign at a rural intersection near Tisdale. He drove into the path of the bus carrying the SJHL team to a playoff game in Nipawin.
In 2019, Sidhu was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to 16 charges of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in the wake of the crash.
