A school bus carrying high school students has crashed into a home after a collision with a vehicle in Burnaby.
B.C. Emergency Health Services said it received a call at 7:55 a.m. about the crash.
Six ambulances, a supervisor and a link and referral unit responded, BC EHS said. Paramedics cared for and transported 11 patients to hospital in stable condition.
Burnaby RCMP received their first call regarding the crash, which shut down Canada Way between Graham Avenue and 17th Avenue, just before 8 a.m. Thursday.
Cpl. Mike Kalanj told Global News the school bus was involved in a two-vehicle collision, which caused the vehicle to crash into the house.
“What I can tell you about the bus is that it was a high school bus, so the children are a little bit older, they’re in their teens,” he said.
“A few of them have some aches and pains. At this time I believe there are some minor injuries.”
Kalanj added that he believes the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
It is unclear how many students were on board the bus at the time of the crash.
Firefighters are at the scene.
