Canada crash: Country mourns Humboldt Broncos bus dead


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will attend a vigil on Sunday to honour the 15 killed in a crash involving a bus carrying a junior ice hockey team.

Canada has seen an outpouring of grief following Friday's collision.

Ten players on the Humboldt Broncos team, aged between 16 and 21, died when their team bus collided with a semi-trailer in Saskatchewan.

Police are still trying to determine the reason for the crash. The lorry's driver was not hurt.

Mr Trudeau's office confirmed he would attend the small town of Humboldt's prayer vigil, which begins at 19:00 local time (01:00 GMT Monday).

Hockey teams from around the country paid tribute to the dead during weekend fixtures.

Many have pledged donations to support their families and the surviving players. Online fundraising pages have raised millions of dollars.
