    Five youth, one adult taken to hospitals after school bus rolls over north of Calgary

    • Five youth, one adult taken to hospitals after school bus rolls over north of Calgary

    Six people have been transported to hospital after a collision involving a school bus in central Alberta.

    An RCMP officer from Didsbury, about 82 kilometres north of Calgary, came across the school bus rollover on Highway 2A at Township Road 320, police said Monday. 

    "The bus contained numerous students," they said in a news release. 

    Emergency Medical Services said paramedics responded around 10:30 a.m. 

    "A total of six individuals were transported to hospital," spokesman Adam Loria said in an email.

    Two youths and an adult were taken to hospitals in Calgary, while three youths were taken to Didsbury Health Centre.

    Loria said all six were transported by ground ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.

    Highway 2A is closed and no traffic can get through the area.

    Police said earlier they were responding Monday to multiple collisions in the area, including potentially 12 between Carstairs and Olds on Highway 2, due to poor road conditions.

    Albertans woke up to freezing rain ahead of a predicted snowfall that Environment Canada says could see accumulations of 10 to 15 centimetres before Tuesday.
