The bus driver died at the scene and four children suffered minor injuries in a crash involving 42 passengers on a school trip, police said.
- Sunday morning, a school bus driver died after crashing off Highway 401 westbound, with four children hospitalized.
- The bus carried 42 passengers, mostly Grade 9 students from Kitchener Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School bound for Point Pelee National Park on a multi-day trip, and police identified the driver as a 52-year-old man from the Waterloo region but will not release his name.
- Witnesses described the bus swerving and ending up in a ditch, students said they exited through an emergency hatch amid debris, and police found evidence markers near a destroyed temporary construction sign.
- Within two hours police established a command centre at the East Lions Community Centre where teary-eyed parents reunited with children on Sunday afternoon, and authorities have not provided an estimated reopening time for the closed westbound section of Highway 401.
- Ontario Provincial Police Const. Steven Duguay said `I can't confirm it was a medical episode or not` as investigations continue into the crash caused potentially by a medical or mechanical issue.
