Broncos crash victim’s mom calls for mandatory bus seatbelts
Her son Stephen died in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash five months ago — now Tricia Wack is calling on people across Canada to Buckle up for the Broncos while riding buses.
Wack published a special column in PostMedia newspapers across the country over the weekend calling for compulsory legislation to wear seatbelts on coach buses.
As she remembered her son for his smile, his heart and his creativity, she also addressed the safety issue of shoulder harness seatbelts on buses.
While the federal government has announced shoulder seatbelts will be included on new buses built after September 2020, Wack writes that is only a first step because seatbelts only save lives if they are worn.
