EDMONTON – There will be no criminal charges as a result of a fatal rollover of an all-terrain tour bus at the Columbia Icefield in the Rocky Mountains more than two years ago.
Three people were killed and 14 others had life-threatening injuries after the red-and-white Ice Explorer lost control on the road to the Athabasca Glacier, about 100 kilometres southeast of Jasper, Alberta in July of 2020.
The bus with 27 people on board rolled about 50 metres down a moraine embankment before coming to rest on its roof.
The R-C-M-P completed its investigation in April and sent its findings to the Alberta Crown prosecutor’s office for review.
