School bus in a ditch after collision due to icy roads in Flamborough

Hamilton police says a school bus, with no kids on board, went off the road into a ditch after a collision due to icy roads in Flamborough.

The collision happened this morning around 8 a.m. in Flamborough Gore Rd. between Lennon and Maddaugh roads.

Two other vehicles went off the road into the ditch and another car got sideswiped.

Officers say they barely got to the scene because the roads were too icy. However, no injuries were reported from the collision.

Police say Waterdown is the main area that’s reporting really bad and icy conditions.

Environment Canada released a freezing rain warning for much of south-central Ontario Tuesday morning.

The agency says the warning is expected to start in the morning before turning to light rain later in the day.

Additionally, it says surfaces on highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy, which could contribute to traffic.
