RCMP spokesman Cpl. Troy Savinkoff says one student was taken to hospital with serious injuries, while the other sustained minor scrapes and bruises.

The bus driver had minor injuries.

Savinkoff says icy roads, strong winds and whiteout conditions may have caused the bus to hit the ditch and flip.

RCMP are reminding drivers in central Alberta to stay cautious, as road conditions remain poor in some areas.
