WILLIAMSTOWN, Ont. — Police say a woman remains in serious condition in hospital today after a bus crash injured nearly two dozen people in eastern Ontario.

The Ontario Provincial Police say their investigation continues into the collision between a double-decker Megabus and a tractor-trailer Tuesday afternoon.

The bus was carrying about 45 passengers on its route from Montreal to Toronto.

Passengers described a chaotic and bloody scene as the bus crashed into the ditch along the side of the highway before stopping among the trees lining the westbound lanes.
