A Red Deer woman faces charges of impaired and dangerous driving after the school bus she was operating struck a tree Monday afternoon in the Vanier Woods neighbourhood.
Red Deer RCMP say a witness who observed the collision called 911 after the bus collided with a tree and a sign, then continued to drive for a short distance through Vanier Woods before stopping.
RCMP attended the scene of the collision on Valley Green at 4 p.m. along with Red Deer Emergency Services and fire staff. No one was injured in the collision.
The school bus was carrying 18 students from École Barrie Wilson School between the ages of 5 and 12 years old when the crash happened.
