Officials say 34 students were on board when a school bus rolled onto its side in a single-vehicle collision Monday morning west of Edmonton.

According to Stony Plain RCMP, the rollover happened at about 8 a.m. on Forest Drive near Highway 779, an area about six kilometres north of Stony Plain.

The students on board were from the Evergreen Catholic Separate School and Parkland County School Divisions. No serious injuries were reported.

Parkland School Division posted a statement on its website stating the bus involved was serving the Muir Lake School area at the time.

“Paramedics were on the scene moments after it happened to check all the passengers and driver for injuries,” the statement reads.

The school division said all students and driver were “safe, warm and secured quickly after the accident took place while they waited for paramedics to evaluate any injuries.”

Another bus was dispatched to take the students to school once they were assessed by medical staff.

The school division said staff will provide assistance to the students.

“Thankfully no serious injuries,” read a statement on the Evergreen Catholic Schools’ website. “The icy road conditions in a rural subdivision north of Muir Lake School caused the bus to tip over into the ditch. The children are being transported to Muir Lake School.”
