Brewsters Bus Rolls off Cliff at Columbia Ice Fields
Hey all, haven’t seen it in the news yet, but at 2pm one of the big wheel bus-type rigs lost control coming down the steep 33 degree downhill and rolled off the embankment and Down the cliff / hill.
I was on the other side of the hill and we were waiting in our tour vehicle to come off the glacier and go up that very hill when we saw the driver lose control and the thing must have rolled a lot 5-6 times.
We’ve been stuck on the glacier ever since and we’re waiting for EMS and STARS to evacuate the survivors to Calgary.
This is a pretty surreal experience so far, having witnessed the very thing that we used to come down that very hill crash so violently...
Anyway, looks like at least 17 survivors, all in critical condition, that we’re aware of. We were told a total of 26 passengers and 1 driver were in the accident.
So, just waiting to hear word on the latest... hoping that there are no fatalities, but it didn’t look very good
