Ten-year-old Roland Ruzsinszki says his fellow students were
thrown about and one was knocked unconscious as their school bus
veered into a highway ditch after colliding with a tractor
trailer.

Ruzsinszki was among the 27 Grade 4
students on the bus en route to a field trip and says he saw one student
knocked unconscious while another was thrown from the seat to the floor.
The boy, who was discharged from a
Brampton hospital after being examined by doctors, says people on the
bus were crying and screaming and he's still scared following the crash.
Hospital officials say an eight-year-old
girl had to be resuscitated after arriving at the hospital with "vital
signs absent."
Despite earlier reports that the bus may
have flipped over in the crash, police say the bus remained upright as
it slid into the grassy median of the highway.
