Not known what caused Saskatchewan bus crash that killed 15: RCMP
HUMBOLDT, Sask. — Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened when a tractor-trailer collided with a hockey team bus at a Saskatchewan highway intersection in a horrific crash that killed 15 people, including players and the coach of the Humboldt Broncos.
The crash killed the junior hockey team’s head coach, Darcy Haugan, captain Logan Schatz, forwards Jaxon Joseph and Logan Hunter, defenceman Stephen Wack and the team’s play-by-play radio announcer, Tyler Bieber.
RCMP Asst. Commissioner Curtis Zablocki said the driver of the semi was not hurt and was briefly detained after the crash early Friday evening.
“The driver has subsequently been released. He’s also been provided with some mental health and wellness assistance,” Zablocki said Saturday afternoon.
