MERRITT, B.C. — Police say it could be weeks before charges are laid in connection with a serious collision involving a tour bus and a tow truck on a British Columbia highway.
RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel says charges are pending after a bus slammed into a truck parked on the side of the Coquihalla Highway in B.C.'s Central Interior yesterday.
Newel says the tow truck was responding to a car that had hit a deer.
Nearly 40 people were injured in the crash, including two people who were airlifted to hospital in serious condition.
An employee at Universal Coach Lines in Richmond, B.C., confirmed that one of the company's buses was involved in the collision.
The investigation is ongoing.
