Driver charged with careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt
The 69-year-old female driver of an empty school bus that splashed into a backyard St. Albert swimming pool in July has been issued with tickets for careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt.
The tickets were issued after RCMP reviewed evidence from witnesses, the mechanical report on the school bus and video from the bus, police confirmed Thursday.
The careless driving charge carries a fine that varies according to circumstances, as well as six demerit points. The seatbelt ticket carries a fine of $115.
Witnesses told CBC on July 29 that a school bus veered off a street before ending up in the pool.
Emergency crews were called to the scene on Morgan Crescent to examine the female driver, who was alone on the bus.
