At around 8:10 am, Lake Country RCMP and emergency crews responded to a report of a collision between two commerical vehicles.
At an intersection at Centre Road East and Oceola Road, a school bus was pulling out from a stopped position, until it hit the driver`s door of a commercial dump truck.
Corporal Jesse O`Donaghey says it was very fortunate that the bus driver had just dropped off the students onboard moments before the collision took place.
```There would have been a strong likelihood of significant injuries sustained, given the damage sustained by both commercial vehicles, had there been students onboard that bus,`` says O`Donaghey.
The driver of the dump truck was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
An RCMP investigation is currently underway, but no charges have been filed at this point.
Any witnesses to the incident with more information are asked to call the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288.
