Charges are pending for a teen driver, Manitoba RCMP say, after a pickup truck collided with a school bus Wednesday morning.

Officers from the Pembina Valley detachment were called to the intersection of Road 66 West and Road 28 North in the RM of Lorne around 8:30 a.m., where they found the bus lying on its side in a ditch.

Police said all 14 students on board — ranging in age from kindergarten to Grade 11 — had safely exited the bus by the time emergency responders arrived and were all sent to hospital as a precaution due to minor injuries.
