The bus driver, an 82-year-old man, has been arrested by the police. He could face hit and run charges because he continued to drive after the impact, causing the injury.
The Saint-Jan-sur-Richelieu police department remains on scene this evening. He requested the cooperation of the Sûreté du Québec to reconstruct the scene.
