Four people suffered “significant but non-life-threatening injuries” when a school bus rolled over north of Swan River.
RCMP were sent to the crash site on Highway 10, about 13 kilometres south of Mafeking, at 8:35 a.m. Tuesday.
The four patients are being taken to hospital, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release later that morning.
“Multiple other children were being treated for injuries at the scene as well as taken to hospital,” the release said.
“RCMP will update the situation when more information is known.”
Sapotaweyak Cree Nation Chief Nelson Genaille said the bus was transporting students from his community to Swan River when the incident happened. He did not have any information about injuries.
“It was raining yesterday, and it’s black ice right now,” Genaille said of the highway conditions.
