Icy roads and strong winds are being blamed for a number of collisions across Saskatchewan. A gust of wind forced a Saskatchewan Transportation Company bus into the ditch near Otthon, just outside of Yorkton, but none of the three people aboard was hurt.
Near Tisdale, four children escaped serious injury after the driver of a school bus lost control, causing the bus to flip on its side in a ditch along Highway 35.
