Standing room only as Humboldt Broncos bus driver remembered at service
CARROT RIVER, Sask. — Hundreds gathered in a small northeastern Saskatchewan town Friday to pay their respects to the Humboldt Broncos bus driver who died with 15 others as a result of the crash last week.
It was standing room only at the funeral for Glen Doerksen in Carrot River’s community hall.
Doerksen, 59, was driving the team’s bus to a junior hockey playoff game in Nipawin when there was a collision with a semi-trailer.
There were 29 people on the bus — 16 have died and 13 were injured.
