Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was in court for a short amount of time this morning in Melfort, Saskatchewan.
The driver of a transport truck involved in the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash simply told the judge, “I plead guilty, your honour.”
Sidhu pleaded guilty to all 29 charges filed against him, 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Sixteen people lost their lives and 13 were injured when Sidhu's semi-unit, loaded with peat moss, collided with the Humboldt Broncos team bus in rural Saskatchewan last April.
Sentencing is scheduled to begin Jan. 28 in Melfort and will likely take three to five days to complete, due to the number of victim impact statements expected to be entered.
