Driver dies after school bus rollover on Highway 401 near London, Ont.

Описание: A bus driver is dead, and four students have been transported to hospital after a single-vehicle crash on Highway 401 near London Sunday.

Just after 9 a.m. a bus with 42 passengers on board was travelling from Kitchener-Waterloo to Point Pelee in Leamington, Ont. when it went into the ditch.

“I was at the very back of the bus, so all I saw was something fly off the side, and then everything was just kind of a blur after that,” recalled Charlotte Weldon, 13, one of the students from Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School, also known as Kitchener Collegiate Institute.


“We were at the back, so we just opened the emergency hatch thing and just everyone kind of was helping people get out,” she added.

Two buses filled with students were en route to a three-day overnight geography trip.

OPP tell CTV News the driver of the bus has been pronounced deceased, and the cause of the crash and the cause of death of the driver are under investigation.

In an update from Middlesex County OPP late Sunday afternoon, the driver of the bus has been identified as a 52-year-old man from the Waterloo Region.
