Nick Shumlanski was the first of the Broncos to be released from hospital and sent out a statement Sunday night thanking people for their support.
He said he was told it was a miracle he was able to walk away from the accident with only minor injuries.
Scott Livingstone, CEO of the Saskatchewan Health Authority, said he was devastated by the tragedy, but was proud of the health care supporters who worked tirelessly to support the victims and the families.
“We have not seen a mass casualty of this nature in the province in my 30 years in working in health care,” Livingstone said Monday.
“It is one of the most significant events ever and with respect to how the system responded … I think we’re proud of is the system worked exactly how it was supposed to work.
“It was a system-wide response to this tragedy. We saw the absolute very best of Saskatchewan in one of the absolute worst situations possible.”
