The bus, carrying elderly passengers to a casino, collided with a truck at a rural intersection near Carberry, about 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg.
This has become one of Canada’s deadliest road accidents.
Deputy Police Officer Rob Hill confirmed the fatalities and stated that ten others were seriously injured, some in critical condition.
Medical teams are working tirelessly to care for the injured, while authorities investigate the cause of the crash, considering factors like road conditions and vehicle maintenance.
