Police are investigating a three-vehicle crash that involved a chartered bus carrying high school students on Friday afternoon.
In a news release on Monday, the RCMP said the bus was hit by a small car turning left at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Manitoba Drive in Clarenville. The car also struck an SUV with an adult and two children inside before coming to a stop.
Everyone involved was taken to the Dr. G. B. Cross Memorial Hospital in Clarenville for minor injuries.
Students and teachers from Pasadena Academy were aboard the bus on their way back from a school trip, police say, and they stayed at Clarenville High School until boarding at a nearby hotel overnight.
The RCMP said charges under the Highway Traffic Act are possible and the investigation continues.
