Fortunately, no one was hurt after a school bus was rear-ended by another vehicle on Highway 11A near Rocky Mountain House Wednesday morning.

Brad Volkman, Superintendent for the Wild Rose School Division confirms there were four people on board.

“The bus was making a left-hand turn and someone from behind rear-ended the bus,” he explains. “We had three students on the bus and none of them were injured, nor was our driver. We contacted parents and got another bus out there so the driver could finish their route.”

Volkman says the incident is another reminder to always pay attention on the roads.

“Just always be aware of our buses and our students, we want to keep them safe.”

RCMP says the collision occurred around 8:15 a.m. at the entrance to the Woodland Estates subdivision just west of Rocky Mountain House.

Although an official cause of the crash has yet to be determined, Mounties suspect driver distraction may have been a factor.

Police say it’s not known yet if the male driver of the other vehicle will be charged as the incident remains under investigation.
