Humboldt

The father of a player killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash says he thinks meeting face-to-face with the truck driver who caused the collision was a powerful moment in both of their lives. Scott Thomas, whose son Evan died in the April 6 crash, said both he and Jakirat Singh Sidhu cried when the two met privately at Sidhu’s sentencing hearing this week. “It was a very powerful, very emotional 15 minutes,” said Thomas. “There were lots of tears on both our parts. He said exactly what he said in court ... ‘I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.’”

The hardest thing Chris Joseph ever had to do was get through the first 48 hours after his son died in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
