Still Investigating: RCMP Say Too Early To Know What Happened In Broncos Crash

  • Still Investigating: RCMP Say Too Early To Know What Happened In Broncos Crash
REGINA — Police say it's too early to say what happened in a fatal bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team and whether charges will be laid.
 
 
RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki says what is certain is that a tractor-trailer was in the intersection when the truck and the team bus collided on April 6.
 
 
Sixteen people — including 10 players — were killed and another 13 people were injured.
 
 
The driver of the semi-trailer was not hurt.
 
 
 
 
Zablocki says there are still many unanswered questions and an investigation of such magnitude is measured in weeks or months, not days.
 
 
He says experts are looking into three areas: environmental factors such as road conditions and visibility, the mechanics of both vehicles and the role of the drivers.
 
 
The intersection north of Saskatoon is closed today because a forensic collision reconstruction team is doing more tests and analysis.
