CALGARY — The owner of the transport truck involved in the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash has admitted he did not follow provincial and federal safety rules. A lawyer for Sukhmander Singh of Adesh Deol Trucking pleaded guilty on his client’s behalf in a Calgary court Wednesday to five charges. Court documents showed the offences occurred between Jan. 1 and March 31 — prior to the fatal crash on April 6. The driver, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, was sentenced on Friday to eight years in prison on 29 dangerous driving charges. The tragedy spurred the three prairie provinces to require mandatory training for commercial truck drivers.
