A school bus collision on January 20, 2016 has left a woman facing several charges that include drunk driving. 31 year old Daisy Ladouceur is being charged in an accident that occurred on the Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement, where Ladouceur is a resident. According to police allegations Daisy was operating an Oldsmobile Aurora shortly before 9 a.m. on the day of the accident when she did not stop at an intersection, striking a school bus with children on board and causing the bus to spin into a nearby ditch. Two of the children on the bus were transported to the local hospital for treatment due o minor injuries they sustained. Ladouceur is now facing charges which include public mischief and impaired driving, and she will appear in court to face the charges in March.

None of the children or adults involved in the school bus collision were seriously hurt, and both children who required medical attention were released from the hospital soon after arriving because their injuries were minor. This drunk driving incident could have ended far worse, especially with children on the bus at the time. Few drivers expect to encounter someone driving drunk at 9 am in the morning but this accident shows that it can happen. Impaired driving is no joke and it can have deadly consequences. If you plan on having a drink or two make sure you have a safe way home so that you do not end up facing charges of your own or causing an accident.
