“I just remember sitting there on my phone and all of a sudden our bus driver screamed ‘woah!’ and a semi-truck pulled up in front of us,” he told KiSS 92.5’s Roz and Mocha from his hospital bed in Saskatoon.

I have been at work all day today and I am just catching up. I still think the truck was going across the highway and it had pulled out in front of the bus, possibly didn't stop at the stop sign and just blew right through it, basically coming out of nowhere. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out the bus driver tried to swerve out of the way. If the truck was turning, it would have happened slower (if that makes sense), and I think the bus driver would have seen the truck. Either way, that intersection needs to be changed, something, somehow, it just has to be safer so no one else loses a life there
On Friday night, my FIL was here and when I told him the intersection (he is from that area but hasn't been back in years), he knew the intersection immediately, which tells me that it probably should have been improved years ago and it shouldn't have taken this tragedy.
Today has been an odd day where I live in Saskatchewan. I am seeing lots of green shirts, local shop sold out of all their green shirts, so my hubby got us 4 yellow ones, and the shop put the BRONCO name on the backs for free (such an awesome gesture on their part!) Another local print shop, printed 10,000 car decals and have donated them, they will be sold for $5 a piece and the money will be donated to the Bronco hockey team, SJHL fund, and Stars Air Ambulance (who air lifted 3 on Friday night). No one can really talk about it, well, not without tears. We are all trying to do our part, and I guess doing things that maybe make ourselves feel better and hope that in the long run, all those affected will feel the love.
