A Manitoba school division says 14 students and a driver were taken to hospital after a bus rolled off a highway near the Saskatchewan boundary.
The morning crash happened on Highway 10 south of Mafeking, near Swan River, about 550 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg
The Swan Valley School Division says all on board were assessed at the scene and transported to the health centre in Swan River for evaluation.
RCMP say four received significant but non-life-threatening injuries.
Photos circulating on social media show a yellow Sapotaweyak Education Authority bus tilted in the snow with a crumpled front end, shattered side windows and an open back door.
The division says the bus had been taking students from Sapotaweyak Cree Nation and the Northern Lights Institute of Trades and Technology to Swan Valley Regional Secondary School.
"Swan Valley School Division immediately deployed three counsellors and our division’s Knowledge Keeper to the Health Centre to provide emotional support to students and families," the division said in a statement Tuesday.
"We sincerely thank the first responders for their swift action and compassion during this difficult time."
