Last Humboldt player injured in bus crash released from hospital

Nearly a year after a bus crash that left 16 people dead and 13 others injured, the last Humboldt Broncos player has been released from the hospital.

Morgan Gobeil's family announced on Monday in a statement that, following a 333-day hospital stay, he'll begin the next stage of his recovery as an outpatient with a therapy team at Saskatoon City Hospital.

Gobeil suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple fractures to his skull, three facial fractures, broken ribs, and lacerations to his liver and spleen, according to The Canadian Press.

"During his time at the hospital, Morgan has celebrated his high school graduation, his brother's wedding, his 19th birthday, several holidays, and he has witnessed the change of all four seasons," the statement reads. "While Morgan has not regained his speech or his ability to walk yet, we remain hopeful that those will be the kind of milestones we will someday be able to celebrate."

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the transport truck driver involved in the crash, pleaded guilty to all charges against him in January.
