Northern school bus driver charged with impaired driving

A school bus driver at a northern First Nation faces impaired driving charges after a bus carrying high school students hit the ditch near Gillam on Tuesday afternoon.

No one was injured in the crash.

RCMP in Gillam were called to a single-vehicle collision involving a Fox Lake First Nation school bus carrying 15 high school students at about 4:30 p.m.

RCMP say the bus left the Gillam School, which some Fox Lake students attend, and was on the way back to the Fox Lake First Nation. The bus was heading head on PR 280 about 15 kilometres from Gillam when the driver went in the ditch, RCMP say.

The driver, a 55-year-old Fox Lake woman, was held overnight and released on a promise to appear in Gillam court May 11.

I don't know what I would do if my child was on her bus.
