A bus carrying a Major Bantam hockey team from Berwick, N.S., slid off Highway 105 and rolled on its side in Queensville, Inverness County on Saturday.
RCMP said that they were dispatched to the scene around 2:18 p.m., where 19 players, two coaches and the driver were found.

A 13-year-old player had a broken arm and was taken to hospital, but no one else was injured, said police.
“I can say that the roads were bad at the time and I would expect that that would have at least contributed to the accident,” said Const. Chad Morrison.

But the cause of the accident is still under investigation, Morrison added.
“We would recommend that people be careful,” he said. “There were other vehicles that went off the road around there as well, in addition to the bus.”
