A Calgary trucking company has had its license to operate suspended following a collision of one of its semi-trucks with the Humboldt Broncos team bus last Friday.
The company suspended is Adesh Deol Trucking Ltd.
Alberta transportation minister Brian Mason confirmed to reporters this week that the company’s certificate has been suspended pending an investigation. An investigation is being conducted by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Transportation and the RCMP; Mason indicated Alberta will do its own investigation after that was concluded.
This is apparently standard procedure in these situations. Mason also confirmed there are no violations so far on record in Alberta for the company.
16 people were killed and 13 injured in the crash involving the semi and the Humboldt team bus. The collision happened at the intersection of highways 35 and 335 north of Tisdale.
