UPDATE 3:

Out of the 17 passengers of the charter bus that rolled over on Emerson Trail this morning, several were taken to the hospital by EMS due to minor injuries.

Four individuals were transported to the hospital in critical condition, with two being taken by STARS and the other two by EMS.

The bus was carrying oilfield workers.

The investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing, but speed, weather and alcohol are not believed to be a factor.

The highway is set to reopen shortly.
