“We're at the infancy stage of the investigation and all steps are being taken to determine the cause of the rollover.”
RCMP in Alberta say there are reports that multiple people are injured after a bus, similar to the vehicle pictured, rolled over on a highway that runs between Jasper and Banff National Parks. Responders attend to a rolled-over icefield touring bus in Jasper National Park, Alta., in a handout photo taken Saturday, July 18, 2020.
“I took my camera and zoomed as far as it could go and I'm like 'yeah, it is wheels up.' I could see even more stuff and realized they were still getting people out and I was shocked at that point to realize this has just happened,” Bye said. At least one witness has said he saw a rock slide cause the crash, but Bidaisee said it's too early to know what happened.
Officials released more information Sunday about the mammoth rescue effort that happened after the crash. Hospitals in both Edmonton and Calgary were put on “Code Orange” alert so that they were prepared for the high number of patients.
