RCMP are at the scene after a sightseeing bus rollover at the Columbia Icefields, near Jasper, Alta., on July 19, 2020.A class-action lawsuit alleging the defendants acted recklessly and unreasonably has been filed against the operators of a tour bus involved in a fatal rollover at Jasper National Park’s Columbia Icefield.
“The defendants knew or ought to have known that there was a significant risk to the plaintiff and class members and that the accident was a reasonably foreseeable result of failing to take adequate measures to prevent such incidents,” reads the claim.None of the allegations has been proven in court.
The lead plaintiff is Devon Ernest, 22, from North Battleford, Sask., who was on the tour with his girlfriend, Dionne Durocher of Canoe Narrows, Sask., and his cousin Winnie Ernest.“I’m not doing so good. I’m just trying to hold on,” Ernest told The Canadian Press.“Someone was at fault. Someone or something could have been changed,” Ernest said.Ernest said the driver gave limited safety instructions before the bus took off. He said she pointed out the rear exit and how to open windows.
“The operator of the tour bus, the defendant Jane Doe, attempted to brake, but was unable to reduce the speed of the tour bus. The tour bus lost traction with the road. The front right tires then approached the embankment and then went over the embankment,” reads the statement of claim.“The tour bus went over the side of the embankment and rolled over four to six times, with at least two rotations occurring in the air, before coming to a stop on its roof.

Fatal Sask. bear attack victim was on phone with father when she was killedHubert Esquirol was on the phone with his daughter, 44-year-old Stephanie Blais, the moment she was fatally attacked by a black bear Thursday afternoon.
