Poor weather conditions are believed to have had a role in a collision involving at least one vehicle and a school bus Monday afternoon.
The collision happened in the late afternoon hours and involved a First Students school bus carrying children coming home from school. There are no reports of injuries to the school children. It is not confirmed whether there are other injuries, however.
In addition to the vehicles damaged, a guardrail was also taken out by the collision.
The incident took place near on the northbound lane towards the Battleford bridge, on the Battleford side of the river near the Highway 16 underpass.
It happened on an afternoon of snowy weather and some treacherous driving conditions on the bridge, with very slippery conditions for drivers.
Traffic was tied up considerably for much of the afternoon as a result of the incident and both southbound and northbound traffic to the bridge were impacted. The southbound traffic was rerouted onto Highway 16 while emergency crews dealt with the situation. RCMP, fire and EMS personnel were on the scene.
