BASSANO, Alta. (CP) - A British military vehicle rolled Friday morning on the Trans-Canada Highway killing one person and injuring at least three more critically.
"As it turned out, it was a British bus, military bus, with 17 passengers and a driver. And of these, one is deceased, three are critical," said Capt. Lou Marselje.
"The remainder, it's unclear, although the RCMP thought that they were non-ambulatory because they were all mobile, they walked around."
It's believed those on board the bus were British soldiers training at CFB Suffield, in southeastern Alberta.
Freezing rain was falling at the time of the crash, although it's not known if this was a factor in the accident.
RCMP say the vehicle is either a van or small bus.
Police say the accident involved just the one vehicle, and it happened near the town of Bassano, about 150 kilometres southeast of Calgary.
Both eastbound and westbound traffic was being rerouted.
