On Friday April 6, 2018 the Humboldt Broncos Junior Hockey Team from Saskatchewan, Canada were involved in a horrific crash with a semi truck. 15 people lost their lives. There are no words that can explain what their families must be going through.

I made this tribute to them:

Angelz, that is a very touching tribute. Well done. All hockey communities are in mourning, especially in Humboldt and the home towns of these boys and men.  RIP.......

This is an interview with the father of Evan Thomas: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1207912515858/

The driver blew through a stop sign and the bus hit the truck ripping away the entire front of the bus.

He was given 2 weeks training and was driving for 2 weeks when the accident occurred.

He said the sun was in his eyes and he could not see the stop sign.

Evan Thomas's father called bullshit on it in that interview.

This is the story of the company: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-humboldt-trucking-company-1.4613594

That really sucks.

 

But they should not blame the truck driver. It wasn't either drivers fault.  If you look at where it happened and where the sun was at the time and everything it's easy to see why it happened. 

 

If the Sun was in the truck drivers eyes he HAD to be going west and it happened Friday evening so the sun would of been in the W/SW.  And a bunch of thick trees to the left of the truck and right of the bus coming up to the intersection so neither one of them could possibly know there was traffic coming the other way untill it was to late.

 

google maps link to the crash site

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1031634,-104.0265512,3a,75y,358.49h,76.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4IjsSsjKDZNR69GawsWfTQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

 

Made a generic map overlay. It explains alot. Just a really bad spot at that time of the day and with the blinding light of the sun hitting the snow it would be impossible for for anyone to see a little stop sign in time. And with those trees well you get the picture.

The father of one of the kids on that bus said he got to the scene 10-15 minutes after it happened and the cop told him the driver said he missed the stop sign because of the sun in his eyes.  The father and another father looked at each other and said what sun.

A little ways up the road there is a sign that gives warning of a stop sign coming up. Then there is a red flashing light also meaning stop. A reporter drove both the routes of the bus and the truck. She went into great detail of what both would of seen at time of impact.

It is the truck driver who is at fault for not stopping at the stop sign. He has probably drove that road a few times and should of known there is a stop sign there. He will probably just get a ticket for it.

I take it you have never ridden in or driven in a long nosed square grill truck like that big Peterbilt. Looks like a Peterbilt 389. I have with my uncle and my buddy all over the east coast.

Sun hits the hood and glares back at ya and you get hit rite in the face from the top of the big windshield.  Just the brightness from snow can cause problems. Inexperience had a role in it to but it wasn't the cause.

 

Here have a watch. The sun is not bright at all in this video but look at the glare you get on the windshield. And what little sun that was hitting this truck was hitting the passenger side door. And this truck has a large visor on the top of the cab that hangs over the windshield. 

 

It gets alot worse in direct sunlight.  At times the whole road disappears.

Yes, I have driven in a 379 Peterbilt. My husband is a truck driver.

The truck in the accident was a 379 Peterbilt. You can tell by the lights.

Like I said before the driver is at fault for not stopping at a stop sign. He may have had a lack of experience but he wasn't paying attention to the road and the signs that gave ample warning with a red flashing light warning that a stop sign was coming up.

The accident has claimed another life. She was the Broncos Athletic Trainer. Dayna Brons was 24 from Marysburg, SK. I have added her to the tribute video.

My Favorite rock band Monster Truck is doing a concert in Calgary next week, all proceeds going to Humboldt Survivor Ryan Straschnitzki to aid in his recovery and rehab, he was paralyzed from the accident. Proud of the boys to be doing this (This is the band that had me up on stage to play with them last month and I have a half sleeve tattoo in their honor, and always wearing their merch) The boys in the band are HUGE hockey supportes, one of their songs is the Calgary Flames goal song, another of their songs is the Toronto Maple Leafs goal song, they love hockey and were heart broken by this tragedy

So, the driver is going to jail. I hope they give him consecutive sentences. I also hope he rots in there. The careless asshole is a murderer!!!
