Two children to be released from hospital following school bus crash: Mayor

CROSSFIELD, Alta. – Two of three children are well enough to leave hospital following last week’s school bus crash in southern Alberta.

Crossfield Mayor Nathan Anderson says the pair may even be home already.

He says the third child, a five-year-old boy, is also continuing to improve.

The three were rushed to hospital in Calgary with critical injuries after the bus collided Friday with a large pickup truck at a rural intersection near the town.

Six other children and the female bus driver also went to hospital with less serious injuries.

RCMP continue to investigate the cause of the accident.
