Highway Accident: RCMP Reports School Bus Flips Over on Manitoba's Main Roadway
Rewritten Article:
Say goodbye to another unlucky day in Winnipeg, as a shiny new school bus, bound for the city, took a tumble on Highway 75, close to Ste Agathe.
The Manitoba RCMP responded to the scene around 3:15 p.m. on Monday, with the accident unfolding before their eyes.
It seems the bus lost control, veering off the roadway and tumbling into a ditch. The culprit? A semi truck overtaking the bus in the passing lane, combined with the relentless wind, apparently did the job.
The lone occupant of the bus – a 36-year-old man behind the wheel – fared relatively well. Bystanders sprung into action, hoisting him from the wreckage, albeit with a few cuts and bruises to show for his misadventure.
The bus, destined for Winnipeg from out of province, ended its journey in a less-than-ideal fashion.
The incident occurred on April 28, 2025, about 60 kilometers south of Winnipeg. Pierre Jolys RCMP was on the case[2]. Fortunately, no children were on the bus during the accident[2]. However, specifics regarding the cause of the rollover or extent of the driver's injuries remain unclear, as the investigation is still ongoing or details may have yet to be disclosed[1][2]. For updates, reach out to the law enforcement or CBC Manitoba.
