On Saturday, the death toll from the Saskatchewan junior hockey team’s bus crash rose to 15. The Broncos’ head coach and team captain are reported to be among the dead, with another 14 people injured.
The team’s bus was carrying 29 people when it collided with a semi-trailer about 30 kilometres north of Tisdale, Sask.
A separate GoFundMe campaign for affected families had raised $1 million by Saturday afternoon, 18 hours after it had been created.
