(Hope Town) A driver lost her life on Tuesday afternoon following a head-on collision involving a school bus on Route 132 in Hope Town, Gaspésie.
Posted at 9:17 p.m.
The driver in her sixties would have probably attempted an overtaking maneuver when she found herself in the opposite lane, directly in front of the heavy vehicle.
A dozen young students were on board the bus, but they were able to get out of the vehicle and would not have suffered any injuries.
In the case of the driver, she was rushed to a hospital before succumbing to her injuries.
Route 132 was closed to traffic in the area to allow police to analyze the scene of the accident.
