A Greyhound bus crash south of Prince George Thursday morning has sent nine people to hospital, three with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

North District RCMP Traffic services said they received a report of a single vehicle incident involving a passenger bus with unknown injuries at  7:50 a.m.

Officers attended the scene on Woodpecker Hill, approximately 38 kilometers south of Prince George near Hixon to find that a northbound passenger bus lost control and went off road into the left ditch landing on its side.

A joint investigative team,  RCMP traffic services analyst, a reconstructionist, and a commercial vehicle safety inspector are still on scene attempting to determine exactly what caused the bus to leave the road.

Police are requesting anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact North District Traffic Services at 250-649-4004.

No further information will be released at this time.
