The owner of a Calgary trucking company involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash did not speak to anyone on his way into court in Calgary this morning.

Sukhmander Singh made his first appearance on eight charges relating to non-compliance with various federal and provincial safety regulations.

He has not retained a lawyer and was represented by duty counsel, who asked the case be set over to the 30th of this month.

Sixteen people were killed and 13 injured when the hockey team bus and a semi-truck owned by Singh collided last spring in rural Saskatchewan. (Canadian Press)
