BEAVERLODGE – Multiple oilfield workers were taken to hospital Wednesday, four in critical condition, after a charter bus rolled off a highway northwest of Edmonton.
Cpl. Mathew Howell said Mounties responded to the crash about 7 a.m. on Highway 672 near Beaverlodge, west of Grande Prairie.
“No fatalities have been reported at this time,” Howell said in a statement.
Seventeen people were on the bus, he added. Several went to hospital and some were assessed at the scene for minor injuries.
Two people were airlifted to Grande Prairie Regional Hospital and two others went by ambulance, all with critical injuries.
Howell said it’s not clear why the bus veered off the road and the investigation is ongoing.
He said it’s also not known whether the passengers were on their way to a work site or returning home.
“Speed, weather and alcohol are not believed to be a factor,” he said.
