Nov 22, 2017 | 3:28 PM

A school bus and truck were involved in a crash in P.A. Wednesday afternoon.

Prince Albert Police responded to the incident at 3:30 pm. It was at the intersection of First Ave. W. and 22nd St. W.

The bus had students on board at the time.

Police are confirming no one suffered injuries as a result of the collision.

In a media release Sgt. Travis Willie said police were attributing icy road conditions to the accident and no criminal charges will be laid. It was not immediately clear from which school division the bus was from.

This was the second incident involving a school bus this month.

On Nov. 3, emergency crews responded to a motor vehicle collision involving a car and a school bus operated by Saskatchewan Rivers Public School on the corner of Eighth St. E and Fifth Ave.

The 59-year-old male driver and an eight-year-old female, six-year-old male and 11-year-old female passenger were taken to hospital for further care, all with minor injuries. The two occupants of the car were not injured.

The school bus driver was later ticketed by Prince Albert Police for disobeying a stop sign and an internal investigation was launched.
