Humboldt Broncos
Maacoshark:
Surprised no one has started a thread about this. I'm sure you all know about the Humboldt Broncos bus accident and that there was 15 fatalities and 13 injured. It is a sad day for the hockey world.
The accident is still under investigation. The only thing I know about the intersection where the accident occurred was that there is a stop sign for traffic heading east or west. Not sure if weather or icy road conditions played apart in the accident.
This is the 2nd accident in Saskatchewan involving a junior hockey team bus. In 1986 the Swift Current junior team bus lost control and hit the ditch killing 4 members. That team was also the Broncos. A couple players in that bus accident went on to play in the NHL.

My heart and prayers go out to all the famlies of the players involved. What a tragedy. Still have not read any details of the accident. Hope the bus driver was not at fault.

I highly doubt it was the bus drivers fault. Pretty sure the truck had a stop sign. The police still aren't saying anything accept they are still investigating.
Apparently one of the injured players was released from hospital.

I have been looking for more details about the accident as well and am surprised that none have been released. Here is one article. It looks like the semi was likely at fault. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/humboldt-broncos-crash-site-intersection-1.4610707

Bus vs semi.. :( I thought they must of been hit by a train or something to kill/injure so many, but a Semi will also do it.. Did the semi driver die too?
Again, prayers to all involved.
