Injured passengers from Vancouver-bound bus taken to hospitals in Kelowna, Penticton and Merritt.
A passenger bus crash on a highway in the British Columbia Interior has sent 53 people to hospital, a local health authority said.
There was no immediate word on whether anyone was killed in the crash, nor on the condition of any patients. The health authority has set up an information line for families looking for more details on loved ones. Ebus director John Stepovy, when reached by phone Saturday night, told Castnet that he wanted to "first and foremost" send thoughts and well wishes to passengers.
"We don't know what happened today. There's an ongoing investigation, and we'll know more soon, I would imagine, but this only happened shortly ago, so there's not much information."
