The Broncos were on their way to Nipawin on April 6 for a SJHL playoff game when the team bus collided with a tractor-trailer at the intersection of highways 35 and 335.

The crash left 16 players and staff dead and 13 injured. The driver of the semi was not injured.

RCMP have confirmed the tractor-trailer was in the intersection at the time of the deadly collision but said it could be weeks, or even months, for investigators to determine exactly what happened.
