Police say the driver of a school bus that plunged into a family’s backyard pool near Edmonton has been charged under provincial traffic laws.

No children were on the bus when it crashed through a fence and splashed into the pool in St. Albert in July.

The driver was hurt and taken to hospital, but was released the same day.

RCMP say in a release that investigators reviewed evidence provided by witnesses, video footage from the school bus and the vehicle’s mechanical report.

Margaret Knight, who is 69 and from Edmonton, is charged with careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt.
