The Alberta RCMP says a 24-year-old woman from Canoe Narrows is among the fatalities in Saturday’s rollover of a glacier sightseeing bus in the Columbia Icefields.
Canoe Narrows is about 340 kilometres northwest of Prince Albert.
The other two people who lost their lives when the Ice Explorer vehicle rolled were a 28-year-old Edmonton woman and a 58-year-old man from India.
More than a dozen other people were critically injured when the bus rolled over at the popular Rocky Mountain attraction.
The RCMP said 27 people were on the bus when it crashed Saturday afternoon.
The Alberta RCMP confirms that of the remaining occupants who were critically injured, only four were still considered to be in critical but stable condition. One occupant was in serious but stable condition.
The Mounties say the cause of the rollover is unknown, but they can confirm there isn’t any evidence that a rockslide took place before the incident.
The investigation is continuing.
