ST. ALBERT — A school bus carrying 17 elementary school children collided with a van and then crashed into several parked cars north of Edmonton.

None of the children was injured.

The crash happened Monday afternoon at the intersection of St. Albert Trail and Hebert Road in St. Albert.

Police say the bus and a van collided, then the bus crossed four lanes of traffic, jumped a median, and hit roughly a dozen parked cars in a nearby parking lot before coming to a stop.

The children, who are students of Ecole La Mission, were loaded onto another bus to be transported home.

The drivers of the bus and van were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
