I don't even know what this means. Choosing to drive a vehicle and being involved in a collision out of negligence and inattentiveness doesn't mean that you "chose" to have the collision or occur, or in this case, "chose" to blow the stop sign.
I like how you quoted the parts that fit your narrative, but neglected to quote the part that directly contradicts that he "chose" to blow through the sign.

[35] He did not testify at the sentencing hearing, but learned counsel on behalf of Mr. Sidhu explained events leading up to the collision. He was well rested on April 6, 2018, when he drove from Saskatoon to Carrot River to pick up a load of peat moss at a fertilizer plant. He had not been to this area before, and got lost and stuck on the side of the road. A passerby helped and he was able to attend to the plant, load and tarp his cargo and start his return journey. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes away from the fateful intersection, he noticed air was getting under a tarp and it was flapping. He pulled over, fixed it, and started on his way again.
[36] Unfortunately, as he drove, Mr. Sidhu focused on the tarps and the trailers behind him. He used the two side mirrors of the semi-tractor unit to keep an eye on the trailers, and given their lengths, he spent spans of time looking in the mirrors towards the back of the trailers. He saw the signs as he approached the intersection, but was so concerned about the tarps and the trailers that the signs and signals did not register.

Which part of this indicates that he made a "choice", a conscious decision, to blow through the stop sign?
