Bus driver killed, four students injured in Highway 401 crash near London
BY Connect Newsroom-Jasmine Singh, Nov 3, 2025 1:33 PM - REPORT AN ERRORA 52-year-old bus driver from the Waterloo Region has died following a single-vehicle crash involving a school bus on Highway 401 west of London on Sunday morning. Four students were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Ontario Provincial Police say the crash occurred just after 9 a.m. as the bus, carrying 42 passengers, veered into a ditch while travelling from Kitchener-Waterloo to Point Pelee National Park near Leamington. The students were on their way to a three-day geography field trip.
Charlotte Weldon, a 13-year-old student from Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School, described the moments after the crash as chaotic but said students helped one another to safety through an emergency exit.
Middlesex County OPP continue to investigate the cause of the rollover. The school board says support staff will be available for students and families affected by the incident.
