Results: Board orders deportation for trucker in horrific Humboldt Broncos crash

The truck driver who caused the horrific bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team was ordered Friday to be deported to India. An Immigration and Refugee Board hearing for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu announced its decision in a 15-minute virtual hearing. "I can't consider humanitarian and compassionate factors," Trent Cook from the immigration division of the board, who oversaw the hearing, told Sidhu."My sole role today is to make a finding on whether the minister has established the facts that support their allegation that you're inadmissible for serious criminality. "I am satisfied that the minister's report is well founded.I am required by law to issue you with a deportation order." Sidhu is from India and arrived in Canada in 2014. In 2018, the rookie truck driver barrelled through a stop sign and into the path of the junior hockey team's bus at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Sask. Sixteen people on the bus were killed and 13 were injured. Sidhu, who lived in Calgary, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving offences and was sentenced to eight years in prison. He was granted full parole last year. Sidhu and his wife now have a child who was born in Canada, Greene said. The child has severe heart and lung complications.
