Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the former truck driver responsible for the deadly 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash, was granted day parole after a hearing Wednesday.
The Parole Board of Canada gave Sidhu day parole for six months. He’ll get full parole after those six months if he follows conditions set out by the board.
Sidhu is currently serving an eight-year sentence in an Alberta prison after pleading guilty to numerous counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm.
In April of 2018, while driving a semi near Tisdale, Sidhu drove through a stop sign and into the path of the bus carrying the SJHL’s Broncos. Sixteen people died as a result of the crash, while 13 others were injured.
Sidhu may still face deportation from Canada to his home country of India. The Immigration and Refugee Board will make the ultimate decision on whether Sidhu can remain in Canada.
The Canada Border Services Agency recommended in March that Sidhu be handed over to the Immigration and Refugee Board to decide if he should be deported. His lawyer is looking to argue against deportation in Federal Court.
