    SQUAMISH, B.C. — A head-on collision involving a packed charter bus has sent one man to hospital and closed down a busy British Columbia coastal highway.
     
    Squamish RCMP say a man was seriously injured when the vehicle he was driving collided with a Pacific Coach Lines bus along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, between Vancouver and Whistler.
     
    The Mounties say 50 people were on the bus at the time but there are no reports of additional injuries.
