Manitoba RCMP and Crown prosecutors will not lay charges against the driver of a bus involved in a crash with a semi-truck in 2023.
Manitoba RCMP and Crown prosecutors will not lay charges against the driver of a bus involved in a crash with a semi-truck in 2023.
The decision was announced Wednesday morning by Manitoba RCMP.
"As investigators, we hoped to provide the why of what happened, and that is why we do what we do. But in this case, we cannot say why the bus proceeded into the intersection that day when it was unsafe to do so," said Supt. Rob Lasson, officer in charge of major crime services with Manitoba RCMP.
The crash happened June 15, 2023, near Carberry, Man. as a bus carrying a group of seniors from the Dauphin area was heading to a casino.
Seventeen people died as a result of the crash.
Officers formerly said the driver of the semi-truck driver had the right of way.
Lasson said RCMP put together a 'comprehensive investigative package' for the Crown attorney. Based on his review, no charges are being authorized in relation to the crash.
