The majority of the students travelling home from Rockglen School on Monday only had to contend with bumps and bruises after their school bus rolled into a ditch, according to the school division.
“A couple of students were taken by ambulance and I think that was more of a precautionary thing – they wanted to make sure they arrived safely to the hospital so they could be assessed,” Ryan Boughen, director of education for Prairie South School Division, told CTV News.
“The majority of the students are at home. They’re a little bruised up and banged around a bit but doing okay. Families are all at home and being supported so that’s where we’re at right now.”
Saskatchewan RCMP first reported the collision in a news update released just after 7 p.m. Monday.
The crash occurred at the intersection of Grid Road 2303 and Township Road 22 at around 3:45 p.m. The site is located around 6.5 kilometres south of the community of Rockglen.
The bus, carrying nine students, aged 16 and under, collided with an SUV at an intersection and subsequently rolled into a ditch.
A total of four of the children were taken to hospital following the crash. Two have since been released, according to the school division.
