Speaking to families of the 29 people killed or injured in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu said he takes “full responsibility for what has happened.”

“It happened because of my lack of experience,” the semi driver who caused the catastrophic crash on April 6, 2018 said after sentencing arguments were made at his hearing in Melfort.

Sidhu, 30, stood in front of the wooden table where he sat for the past four days, leaning on it with balled-up fists and looking down whenever he struggled to speak.

“I can’t even imagine what you are going through, what you have been through. I’ve taken the most valuable things of your life,” he said.

“I am so, so, so, so, so sorry about this pain.”

Sidhu talked about hearing “kids crying” when he emerged from his semi, not knowing what had happened. Then he saw the bus.

The collision at the intersection of Highway 35 and 335 killed sixteen people on the Broncos bus. Another 13 were injured. Sidhu, 29, pleaded guilty earlier this month to all charges laid against him: 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
