Thank you.
My next questions go to the members of the RCMP.
You have experience with accident scenes, including those where buses have been hit laterally. That is what happened with the Humboldt Broncos bus, but it also happened in other accidents. You are suggesting that, because of the force of the impact, the bus was literally cut in two.
Let us say that the impact was at the centre of the bus. The people directly at the point of impact had little chance. However, if the passengers had been wearing seat belts at the moment of the impact, would those seated at the front or the back of the bus have had a better chance of surviving or of avoiding injury?
