Seven students and a bus driver were taken to hospital in Sudbury after a transport collided with a school bus Monday morning on Highway 69, south of the city’s downtown.
The OPP says the bus driver is now in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Sudbury Student Services Consortium, which manages school buses for the four school boards in the region, said in a news release that the crash happened around 8:30 a.m. ET.
It says twelve students were aboard the bus. Police say five were taken to hospital as a precaution, while two have non-life threatening injuries.
The consortium says all parents have been notified, and support is being offered.
The news release says some students were from the Rainbow District School Board and some from the French public board, know as Conseil Scolaire du Grand Nord.
