Eleven patients were taken to hospital after a school bus crashed into a house in Burnaby Thursday morning.
The bus was believed to be carrying high school students on their way to class in another district, Cpl. Mike Kalanj with Burnaby RCMP told Daily Hive.
“We’re glad, at this point, that no one was severely injured,” he said. “We never like attending motor vehicle collisions, we never know what to expect… we’re just glad it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.”

All 11 patients were in stable condition on their journey to hospital, a BC Emergency Health Services spokesperson said. In total, six ambulances, a supervisor, and a link referral unit responded to the scene along with fire trucks.
The crash happened just before 8 am near Canada Way and 16th Avenue. The road is open, but Kalanj advised traffic could be slow since the bus is still there and many drivers are slowing down to look.
