Karanjot Singh Sodhi, 41, died in the crash, leaving his wife, a six-year-old son and two-year-old daughter in Punjab, India.
As police continue their investigation into a bus crash that killed four passengers and injured dozens of others on Christmas Eve, family members in Canada and in India are mourning the death of a man who just arrived in Canada on a work permit three months ago.
Singh, who is the same age as Sodhi and grew up with him in their hometown of Butala, said his family and the whole village are mourning his death. “He has a big family,” said Singh. “The whole village is very upset.” “You as the media have to let the government know how bad it is,” Singh told Postmedia News. “They did not clear the road. This is very terrible for the truckers. It’s too slippery.”
