BEAVERLODGE – Multiple people were taken to hospital Wednesday, some with serious injuries and two 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 Grand Prairie. 

“There have been no fatalities,” Howell said.

Seventeen people were on the bus, he added. Several went to hospital and some were assessed at the scene for minor injuries.

STARS air ambulance service said it airlifted two people to Grande Prairie Regional Hospital in critical condition.

Howell said it’s not clear why the bus veered off the road and the investigation is ongoing.
