Three of the bus’ passengers were taken to hospital as a precaution and later released.

The driver of the Nissan was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to a Toronto-area hospital with serious injuries.

A 28-year-old male from Oshawa has been charged with careless driving in connection with this incident.
