A school bus driver is facing charges following a two-vehicle crash in Niagara Region on Wednesday morning.
Police say the yellow bus and a Ford F-150 pickup came together just before 8 a.m. at the intersection Canal Bank Street and Ontario Road in Welland, Ont.
“The damage to the truck required that the Welland Fire assist in the removal of the female from the vehicle,” a Niagara Regional Police spokesperson said.
