Humboldt Broncos Hockey Team Bus Tragedy

[Hill lover35]

Sad day, on the weekend we had a horrible car accident involving a hockey team in Saskatchewan. We had 5 players who lived in St. Albert die, along with like 12 other people. Moseley 18-20. A semi trailer t-boned the bus, and cut it in half. Along with the deaths was the 18 year old son of Curtis Joseph, who lived and was born in Edmonton. Sad very sad

I didn't see a thread for it anywhere. This is all everyone is talking about up here--the bus crash that killed 15 people from the Humboldt Broncos hockey team. I didn't know if we were allowed to link articles or not. The official Go Fund Me page had raised about $3 million the last I heard.

It continues to dominate the news, very tragic, the photos of the crash take your breath away. The town had a vigil last night at the local rink. Coaches of the Oilers and Flames are heading to Saskatchewan today to pay their respects, visit the families and try to bring some sort of cheer in this bleak time. It's hard to imagine the loss that occurred in a matter of seconds. May there be peace soon for all affected.

Terrible tragedy. I read that the opposing team is doing all kinds of things to help the players in the hospital, that's such a wonderful gesture of compassion and sportsmanship. Thoughts are with the families.

We think the semi driver ran a stop sign. But the road or highway had bad visibility

More info on the road itself.
