Death toll increases to 15 after hockey team's bus crashes

Canadian junior hockey team from Humboldt was traveling to a game when their bus collided with a truck; Bryan Llenas shares an update.

The identities of some of those killed in the crash of a bus carrying a Canadian junior hockey team headed to a playoff game were revealed Saturday, as relatives learned the team's coach and team captain were among the dead.

Also Saturday, police said a 15th person had died, with 14 others injured. Earlier, investigators said 14 were dead.

The bus, carrying the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, collided with a semi-truck on a highway in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, around 5 p.m. There were 29 people onboard at the time of the crash, including the driver, police said.

Relatives of the team's head coach Darcy Haugan and captain Logan Schatz confirmed their deaths.

Tyler Bieber, a radio announcer who did play-by-play for the team, also died, The Associated Press reported. The AP cited Bieber's friend, Jordan Seipp, and manager whose company owns the Humboldt station, CHBO, where Bieber worked.
Police did not immediately release the names of all those who died. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) would not specify how many of the deaths were players, whose ages range between 16 and 20.

The Broncos were on their way to Game 5 of the semi-finals against the Nipawin Hawks. Nipawin is about 164 miles from Saskatoon. After receiving word of the crash, the Hawks announced on Facebook that the game had been canceled.
The truck driver was not injured during the crash and initially was detained but has since been released, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki said. The official added that an investigation was underway and the cause of the crash was not yet clear.

"It's overwhelming. It's been tough on everybody," Humboldt Mayor Rob Muench told The Associated Press. "We're a small community, some of those kids have been on the team for a number of years. A lot grew up in the community and everybody knows each other."
In a statement Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the "entire country was in shock and mourning."
