Sylvan Lake RCMP have charged the driver of a pickup truck following a two-vehicle collision involving a school bus Thursday morning.

As a result, the driver of the pickup truck was charged with failing to stop for a school bus with flashing lights and for driving a motor vehicle without subsisting registration.
