The semi driver that was involved in the terrible Humboldt Broncos bus crash is expected to be in court later this week to answer to charges laid against him on Friday.

29-year-old Jaskirat Sidhu of Calgary is charged with 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily injury.

He was charged on Friday for his role in the crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others but RCMP are refusing to release details, including why his semi was in the intersection when the bus came along causing the collision.
