PILOT MOUND, Man. – Children were taken to hospital following a school bus crash at an intersection near Pilot Mound in southern Manitoba.

RCMP say a pickup truck heading south collided with the rear driver’s side of the eastbound bus Wednesday morning, and the bus ended up on its side in a ditch.

Mounties say all 14 children on the bus had been evacuated when officers arrived, and the kids sustained minor injuries.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 17-year-old boy, sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from hospital.

Police say charges are pending against the truck driver.
