The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is seeking witnesses after a collision involving a school bus and a truck on Highway 11 in Orillia last week.
A 16-year-old girl on board the bus suffered a serious, non-life-threatening injury.
According to the SIU, at around 7:30 a.m. on April 16, an officer driving an OPP vehicle with emergency lights was stopped on the off-ramp to Forestview Road and partially onto Highway 11 northbound. At the same time, travelling northbound on Highway 11, the SIU says there was a collision involving a school bus and a truck.
