REGINA — Police have closed the intersection where the team bus for the junior hockey Humboldt Broncos team and a transport truck collided earlier this month to allow for further investigation.

RCMP say a forensic collision reconstruction team at the rural Saskatchewan road crossing is doing more tests and analysis.

All roads leading to the scene are barricaded and detours are in place, meaning there will be no access to the memorial site.

An update is expected later this morning on the status of the investigation, although the RCMP have said no charges will be announced related to the April 6 crash north of Saskatoon.

Sixteen people were killed and another 13 people were injured.

The driver of the semi-trailer was not hurt.

A GoFundMe page set up to raise money for the victims and their families closed Wednesday night after 12 days of online donations from around the world drew more than $15 million.
