      The Mounties say 50 people were on the bus at the time but there are no reports of additional injuries.
       
      The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday and left the larger vehicle blocking traffic in the southbound lane.
       
      Police aren't able to say when the busy highway would reopen.
