At approximately 2:39 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, a B.C. tour bus hit a median and skidded across several lanes of traffic to roll into a ditch. Road conditions were dry at the time of the accident, and investigation is ongoing to find what might have caused the tragic crash. Super Vacation, a Richmond-based tour operator, was taking the tourists through the Rockies and say that the driver was “very experienced”.
