A pedestrian was killed and “numerous” people aboard a school bus were hurt in a pair of collisions in the same location along Highway 97 in the South Cariboo on Friday.

The B.C. Highway Patrol said the school bus had about 30 people aboard when it left the highway at Butler Road, just north of Lac La Hache and about an hour north of 100 Mile House, around 1 p.m.

“Multiple air ambulances, BCEHS ground crews and several local fire departments responded to the scene,” Highway Patrol Cpl. Melissa Jongema said in a media release. “Numerous people who were on the bus have been transported to hospital with varying injuries.”
