No children were aboard a school bus that rolled over on Highway 75 near Ste. Agathe on Monday afternoon.

The new bus was being delivered to Winnipeg from outside the province.

Officers from the Niverville and St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP detachments were sent to the site of the crash at about 3:15 p.m.

RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Melanie Roussel said Tuesday that a semi-truck had passed the bus, which, combined with the wind speed at the time, resulted in the bus driver losing control.

Bystanders helped the driver, a 36-year-old man, get out of the bus. He had suffered minor injuries.
