Police may never be able to talk to the driver of a bus involved in a crash that killed 17 people a year ago near Carberry, Man., a RCMP official said on June 13.

“We have to respect the privacy of the driver, but I can say that the results of the accident inflicted some severe medical issues for the driver, and he’s not able to provide those answers that we would like,” said Supt. Rob Lasson, officer in charge of major crime services for the Manitoba RCMP.
