A school bus crash in Mission has sent two students, accompanied by two siblings, to hospital with what is believed to be minor injuries.

Mission RCMP say the students were sent to hospital as a precaution.

While not confirmed by police, reports indicate that both students have now been released from hospital.

The accident occurred on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at about 3 p.m. when the bus, from the private Khalsa School, went into the ditch in the 13700 block of Stave Lake Road.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.

BC Ambulance Services and Mission Fire Rescue were also called to the scene.

There were 14 elementary school aged children on the bus at the time of the crash. Many of the students sat inside the fire trucks to stay warm and dry until a replacement bus arrived.

Mission RCMP say the cause of the crash has yet to be determined. The investigation is continuing.
