A Saskatoon Judge has approved 50-thousand dollar payments to the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
The families of the 13 survivors and 16 people killed in the April collision with a semi near Tisdale will receive the interim payments.
The judge has also approved the committee who will determine how the rest of the 15-million dollars donated to the GoFundMe page after the fatal accident will be distributed.
The lawyer for the Humboldt Broncos Memorial Fund Incorporated told court some families have been facing financial hardships since the crash.
