'Sorry for everything', says owner of truck company involved in Humboldt Broncos crash
Calgary, Apr 12 (IBNS): The owner of truck company, which was involved in the Humboldt Broncos crash that claimed 16 lives, has apologised for the mishap, media reports said.
Speaking out for the first time, owner Sukhmander Singh, who has been asked to keep the trucks off the road, told reporters the incident has changed his whole life.
Earlier on Wednesday, Singh said and he was quoted by CTV News, "I'm just sorry for everything. Tough time for everybody."
Singh, who seemed to be utterly disappointed, said he is unaware of what will happen next as the probe in the incident is going on.
"My work is gone. My other truck is shut down now."
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.
Sixteen 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.
