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.

In Hound parlance, we called 'Puppies' or 'Pups' the trailer that the buses hauled behind them.
The bus is the Hound and the trailer is the Puppy.
