COCHRANE- Blizzard conditions brought traffic to a standstill on highways in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan over the weekend.

Snow-covered sections of the Trans-Canada on either side of Calgary reopened yesterday as stuck or smashed vehicles were removed, but the problem only moved east as the storm tracked into southwestern Saskatchewan.

Mounties say several people were hurt Saturday night when a bus, with 15 people on board, hit the ditch and rolled over on Highway 1, east of Highway 22 at around 6 p.m.

Several people were taken to hospital with minor to serious injuries but none life-threatening.
