Tragic news from Saskatchewan

[Upinthe North]

Any news on what could have happened? The news here said the truck broadsided the bus? Did it run a light?

Failed to stop at a stop sign.... New news is saying a row of trees may have blocked the view of oncoming traffic. Guess we will find out in a few weeks what really happened.

jesus.

the president of the Bronco's (Ashton Sautner's uncle) was so eloquent in the press conference.
I have no idea how he held it together.

I did read somewhere that none of the players had their ID on them (it was all in their bags below the bus) but still. That's the kind of thing you really want to check at least ten times before releasing a statement.

Did they notify the wrong family too? Jesus.

Looking at that picture, and given the info so far (direction each vehicle was going in/where the wreckage ended up/etc.) I'd say the bus T-boned the transport. Didn't look like much damage done to the front end of that transport, but the bus' front is completely destroyed.

I do think though, the transport completely missed the stop light/sign and just barrelled through the intersection to create a much bigger impact.

Just my opinion.

So sad. Prayers to all the families involved.

Absolutely tragic and I feel so very sorry for the families that lost loved ones. I do hope that the ones in the hospital recover. Prayers for all.

Truck or bus

The trees blocked the view of the highway the bus was travelling on.

Latest update they mixed up identifying a body of a deceased (TOBER) for Xavier Labelle, who is not deceased. Apparently dental records confirmed and coroner's office didn't identify body correctly as both had same tattoo and physically unrecognizable. Tober's mother allegedly sat with Xavier for two days in hospital before it was confirmed

This is awful for the Tober family and bittersweet for the Labelle family. Hope they all find peace in time.
