SJHL Humboldt Broncos bus crash | 16 Killed, 13 Injured

Is there even a stop sign in the picture?

picture i've seen cuts off basically right where you'd be able to see that lightpost so i can't say. looks like free travel in the direction the bus was aimed, stop sign for cross traffic in both directions

Death toll is probably high, pictures show the semitruck cut right through half the bus. Everyone who's not dead is likely to be seriously injured.

Oh you turned the picture around , i was facing the oncoming truck on the link you sent and staring at the intersection right before the railroad

Thoughts and prayers. Couple of my friends kids played for the Broncos few years back. So ya tragic news.

That's not a picture, it's google maps. Use your mouse to drag the screen around and click to move forward

From a town 5 minutes from Humboldt and live there now and the rumoured dead is up to 15. Deaths are confirmed but hopefully the number isn't anywhere close to 15.

That would be horrible. Hopefully not. How severe was the crash?

i'm not gonna post the picture here out of respect for the severity of it, but basically take a motor coach and shear it across behind the front wheels

The picture is disturbing. It’s about as bad a crash as you can imagine. So sad for everyone affected.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

These families and the kids... This is beyond awful...

I thought Malkin not hiting 100 was bad... Damn, best of wishes to the people involved

Hopefully something is created in their memory. A scholarship or maybe the city could do a gala.

Tragic.

 

[Warden of the North]

RIP those killed

[BorntoLose]

[justafan22]

So sad. To have lives cut that short is sickening.

This is really horrible. I've seen the picture, but what surprises me is that the Toronto Star has now published that photo in their story on the crash.

They interviewed one of the fathers who’s son survived and called him after the accident. He said he lived 5 min away and came to help with the rescue efforts.

The silver linging is that if his son was ok enough to call home hopefully there are more kids who were not badly injured.

Heartbreaking

I’m actually teary eyed right now seeing that

 

[LeafChief]

This is so terribly sad.

Also grew up in an SJHL town, that league is so important to all the small towns, this will hit them all very hard.

Yep, these teams are the lifeblood of all these small towns. My Dad was just at game 4 between these two teams the other night. He and my mom came to visit my family and me this weekend and arrived an hour before we heard. He's just in shock and disbelief right now.
