A school bus with an unnamed number of school children has been in an accident south of Tisdale.

RCMP confirmed the bus is upright in the ditch near Township Road 424 and Range Road 2160, which is about 22 kilometres south of Tisdale.

The incident happened just before 4 pm on Monday.

Officers confirmed the bus driver received non life-threatening injuries but have not confirmed the number of students or what injuries they might have sustained.

A parent of two kids on the bus has confirmed it to be the “Kinistin High School bus” containing children aged 14 to 18. The parent estimates “more than 20 kids for sure all banged up.”
