Canada: Alberta suspends trucking company involved in Saskatchewan crash
Edmonton, Apr 11 (IBNS): The provincial government of Alberta has suspended a Calgary trucking company in connection with the Friday's fatal crash with a bus carrying members of the hockey team Humboldt Broncos in Saskatchewan last Friday, media reports said.
The government has reportedly suspended the commercial safety certificate of the trucking company Adesh Deol Trucking Ltd.
Alberta Transportation spokesman, John Archer, has been quoted by CTV News, "This is standard procedure."
Archer, however, said the trucking company has no record of collision before the Saskatchewan incident.
Fifteen people including Humboldt Broncos head coach, Darcy Haugan, have been killed as a bus carrying the junior hockey team crashed with a truck in Saskatchewan highway on Friday.
The victims include players Adam Herold, Connor Lukan, Evan Thomas, Jacob Leicht, Jaxon Joseph, Logan Boulet, Logan Hunter, Logan Schatz, Stephen Wack, Parker Tobin, team personnel Brody Hinz, Darcy Haugan, Glen Doerksen, Mark Cross and Tyler Beiber.
The team was on its way to Game 5 of a semi-final against the Nipawin Hawks, also in Saskatchewan, when the crash occurred around 5 pm Friday.
