Authorities look for cause of deadly glacier bus crash in Alberta Rockies
COLUMBIA ICEFIELD, AB. — A lone RCMP truck with its lights flashing guarded the entrance to the road on Sunday where a snow coach crash killed at least three people and left 14 others badly hurt.
The vehicle, visible from the highway, appeared to have rolled about 50 metres down a steep embankment from the road.
One person could be seen on top of the coach, which remained on its roof. Three semi-trailer trucks, two with flatbeds, were at the entrance.
The iconic red and white coaches, which look like buses with monster-truck tires, regularly leave from a visitor centre and take tourists up a rough road onto the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park.
