Semi driver in Broncos bus crash loses bid to stay in Canada

Mar 9, 2022 | 3:30 PM

The truck driver involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash nearly four years ago has lost a bid to stay in Canada after his sentence ends.

Reports say Jaskirat Singh Sidhu’s application to the Canada Border Services Agency to remain in the country had been rejected.

As a result, Sidhu will face deportation to India once he serves out his sentence.

However, reports say Sidhu plans to challenge the CBSA’s decision in federal court. He has other possible avenues to remain in the country as well.
