stratos stratos:

The guy was not drunk or on drugs. He mad a mistake that lead to horrible results. No malice or ill intent on what he did. Along with not running away, fessing up, pleading guilty from the start. Yeah maybe a bit longer sentence like 10yrs might have been more palatable to take yet this guy was not out to kill or harm anyone when the ACCIDENT happened.

Semi-driver in Humboldt Broncos bus crash had 70 regulation violations

$1:

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu had 70 regulation violations in the days leading up to the April 6, 2018, Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Sixteen people were killed and 13 injured when the team’s bus slammed into the semi being driven by Sidhu.

A logbook review found Sidhu, 30, violated 51 federal regulations and 19 Saskatchewan regulations between March 26 and April 6.

“If Jaskirat Singh Sidhu had been stopped and inspected on April 6, 2018, prior to the incident, he would have been placed under a 72 hours out-of-service declaration for failing to produce the current daily log and previous 14 days,” stated the review.

It stated Sidhu would have been prevented from operating a commercial vehicle under the Federal Commercial Vehicle Driver’s Hours of Service regulations for the time period in question.

So, entirely preventable, even to the point of the guy not being on the road
when he ran the stop sign.

$1:

An agreed statement of facts found Sidhu was travelling between 86 and 96 km/h when he ran an oversized stop sign with a flashing red light.

The driver of the bus, Glen Doerksen, braked but was unable to avoid the collision and slammed into the side of the semi.

Sidhu pleaded guilty early in January to 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

He faces a maximum sentence of 14 years for each count of dangerous driving causing death and 10 years for dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

The sentence... is a fucking joke.. as usual.

Our justice system had (again!) a chance to send a message, and put this piece of garbage away for a long time. Eight years is a joke. The very same justice system choked yet again. So many lives lost, ruined, torn apart, and damaged beyond repair.

A very sad day indeed.

-J.

Fun fact: it is the longest sentence ever handed down for a dangerous driving charge.

[llama66]

But its not the 354 years I (in)famously predicted.

[bootlegga]

I think 8 years is about right (I would have been fine with the 10 years asked for by the prosecution), and so do the parents of several victims. Even if Singh got 10 years, what's the difference?

He'll do his time and then get deported. No matter how much time he does, it won't bring anyone back or lessen the pain of the victims.

About the only good thing that's come out of this is that many provinces are moving towards making training mandatory for truck drivers.

[BRAH]

Adesh Deol Trucking Ltd the company he was driving for should be held accountable.

[Strutz]

I'm all over the place with my thoughts on this sentence. My heart and my head are doing battle with trying to put it into perspective and stay real about it.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, changes what happened that day.

[herbie]

The guy fucked up. Caused an accident.
Wasn't drunk, didn't intend to. Fessed up, actual remorse.
Eight years and deportation isn't good enough for some of you Old Testament types?

Human error negates the "accident".

What? Accident is the definition of human error. If we didn't have human error, we would have no accidents. Dropping a glass and having it shatter is human error, are we going to stop calling that an accident?

Tricks Tricks:

, are we going to stop calling that an accident?

We should, because it wasn't an accident.

Humboldt Broncos tragedy: What happened, according to the agreed statement of facts

The intersection

Sidhu was travelling westbound on Highway 335 in a transport truck carrying two trailers loaded with peat moss. He was the only person in the vehicle, travelling at between 86-96 kilometres an hour.

A bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team was travelling northbound on Highway 35 at approximately 96-107 kilometres an hour. There were 29 people aboard the bus.





Sidhu failed to heed a stop sign at the intersection of Highways 35 and 335, near Armley, Sask. His truck was completely blocking the intersection when the Broncos’ bus slammed into the lead trailer at just before 5 p.m.

Tire marks show the bus tried to stop, but the truck did not.


Sidhu faced a stop sign at the intersection. The Broncos’ bus did not.

The stop sign itself was “oversized” and measured 1.2 metres across. It was attached to a post with a blinking red light immediately above it, 19 metres ahead of the intersection.


There was nothing to obscure Sidhu’s view of the stop sign, according to the agreed statement of facts. The sun was not in his eyes, the road was not affected by any inclement weather and the intersection was clearly visible before the collision. Sidhu also passed signs indicating that an intersection with a stop sign was ahead.



A few trees southeast of the intersection would not have blocked Sidhu’s ability to see the approaching bus, if he had stopped to check for traffic at the intersection.

Glen Doerksen, the Broncos’ bus driver, saw the transport truck blow through the stop sign and hit his brakes 24 metres before the intersection, but there was no way for him to evade it.

BartSimpson BartSimpson:

Eight years.

That means he'll be out in under four years and when he gets out he'll get all sorts of assistance to get him back to work and he won't get deported.

Why would he be deported?

He wasn’t speeding, wasn’t intoxicated. He was a novice driver distracted by a tarp that had come loose on his load while driving at night, in a province that has no minimum training or experience requirements to drive a big rig solo.

Yet he got the same sentence as the millionaire drunk driving rich guy who killed 3 young kids and their grandfather coming back from a trip to Vegas that he took in his private jet

[Dragontail69]

My kid. He would not have made it to trial. Or once he got out he would be done. He was using a deadly weapon and murdered so many people. Yes he took responcability but 8 years for the murder of so many.......... just sad.

Beaver, you're a pathetic 'human being', and I use that term VERY loosely.

Because he isn't a citizen.

In fact you love it.

Exactly.

Why would he be deported?

He got a sentence over 6 months & he's only a landed immigrant. Automatically disqualifies him from citizenship and for deportation.
Unless he gets a ministerial exemption or something, which isn't likely to happen in this case. The sheer number of casualties means even though it's an accident the public must see there's consequences.
