Ottawa [Canada], December 16
An Indian-origin truck driver, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash, lost the bid in Canada against his deportation to India, Canada-based CBC News reported.
A judge dismissed applications from the truck driver, who pleaded guilty to the dangerous driving charges on Thursday. Sidhu lost his bid to stay in Canada. The crash killed 16 people and injured 13 others.
Sidhu was sentenced to eight years in prison and was employed for less than a month before the crash. The crash occurred on April 6, 2018, at the intersection of Saskatchewan Highway 35 and Saskatchewan Highway 335 near Armley, Saskatchewan.
According to CBC News, Sidhu, a newly married permanent resident, barrelled through a stop sign at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Saskatchewan, and drove into the path of the bus carrying the junior hockey team to a playoff game.
