Truck driver in fatal Broncos crash sentenced to eight years
MELFORT, Sask. — It’s been nearly one year since the deadly Humboldt Broncos crash, and the court proceedings have now concluded with an eight-year prison sentence for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu.
Judge Inez Cardinal handed down her sentence today in Melfort provincial court, where family members and friends of the victims attended wearing Broncos jerseys.
“I want all victims and families to know their voices have been heard in these proceedings,” Cardinal said in her reasons for sentencing. “No sentence I impose will make the victims or families whole again.”
Once released from jail, Sidhu will be banned from driving for 10 years.
