The RCMP are currently on the scene of a coach bus that rolled on the Trans Canada Highway just east of Wolseley this morning. The incident happened shortly after 7 a.m.  

It is reported several occupants of the bus are being treated at the hospital for injuries. STARS Air Ambulance was also dispatched to the scene. There is no word at this time as to the number of people who were injured, or the extent of their injuries.  

Highway 1 is currently closed from Wolseley to the Manitoba border due to poor road conditions.  

We will have further updates as they become available.  

RCMP are also on the scene of a collision on Highway 6 near Chamberlain, with STARS also dispatched there as well. The northbound lanes of the highway are closed with a detour established. The southbound lanes remain open.
