I took the puppy to Regina one time, sometime around 1990 or 1991. The arrival in Regina was delayed by two or three hours because the bus rear ended a car in the middle of the highway. From what I recall the car wanted to turn off the highway, missed the intersection and tried to slam on the breaks in a last ditch effort to make the turn. The bus just couldn't stop in time. I remember a bang and looking up and seeing a smashed up car about 100feet ahead still rolling to a stop.
We weren't allowed off of the bus and had to stay there the entire time. I want to say that someone came to inspect the bus to ensure it can carry on to Regina but I'm not 100% certain of that. Either way, we had to wait for RCMP to show up to the scene and take statements from anyone on the bus who saw anything.
Meanwhile in Regina my friend and his dad were waiting for my bus to arrive. Several busses arrived but I didn't get off. All they were told was "It has been delayed" but they weren't given any reason why.
