River this morning.
Cole Mann and Nicholas Bouchard were two of the students on the bus when a
westbound transport narrowly missed them.
Mann says they were picking up a
student on the route, when an oncoming transport couldn't stop and went into the
ditch.
Bouchard was enjoying a nap when the incident happened.
He says he was awakened by a flurry of snow and then saw the transport hit the ditch.
No contact was made with the bus and no one was
injured.
Provincial Police are investigating.
