No one was injured, but diesel fuel did leak from the engine of the bus and entered the storm sewer system.

Crews sucked out the catch basins along the street and booms were placed in the Oldman River at the storm outfalls to stop any diesel from entering the river.

The driver of the semi truck is facing charges related to the Traffic Safety Act.
