There has been a delay in court proceedings for the driver of the semi-truck that collided with the Humboldt Broncos’ team bus.
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu’s lawyer, Satnam Aujla, asked the judge on Aug. 21 if court could be adjourned until Oct. 2 as there were some particulars he wanted to examine further. The crown persecutor agreed.
Neither Sidhu nor Aujla physically appeared at the Melfort courthouse. Aujla addressed the judge over the phone.
Sidhu is charged with 16 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and 13 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily injury.
Sidhu is out on bail, with conditions that include not operating a motor vehicle, staying within 100 kilometres of his Calgary home, observing a curfew and surrendering his passport.
