‘Cannot happen again:’ Changes called for after bus crash at deadly intersection
TISDALE, Sask. — Rural politicians in Saskatchewan want changes made at a remote intersection where 16 people lost their lives after a semi truck and a bus carrying a junior hockey team collided.
Half a dozen crosses — a memorial for six members of one family who died in a collision at the same intersection more than two decades ago — already sit near a stand of trees at the corner of the intersection.
Now area residents are demanding changes at the intersection of Highway 35 and a secondary highway at a spot known as Armley Corner.
Coun. Dale Poggemiller with the Rural Municipality of Connaught lives near the intersection and says there’s no doubt it’s dangerous.
