RCMP are now saying the pick-up truck which collided with a school bus east of Sylvan Lake on Wednesday was stolen out of Saskatchewan.

Corporal Laurel Scott said on Friday that Mounties were responding to a complaint about the vehicle being on a rural property near Blackfalds when the crash occurred.

“We have not laid any charges to date and the driver remains in the hospital in very serious, but stable condition,” she said. “The investigation into the cause of the collision continues, btu we’re not at a point yet where we’ve made a determination on charges.”

Scott says charges could actually take a while due to the nature of the investigation. The man driving the truck had to be extricated and was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital.
