School bus veers off roadway Traffic was re-routed around 15 Sideroad in Stewarttown on Thursday afternoon after a school bus left the road near the Eighth Line and ended up in the ditch at around 1 p.m. Halton Police officers on the scene said no children were on the bus at the time and that the driver wasn't seriously injured. Halton Regional Traffic officers were still investigating as of press time Thursday, closing the road through much of the afternoon. The accident happened just a day after a 10-year-old Brampton boy was killed in a Highway 410 school bus crash while en route to the Silver Creek Outdoor Education Centre in Georgetown.

Workers arrived at the scene to find that a large tree had been cut down with a chainsaw, severing power lines and leaving residents in the dark. No damage estimate was available. Halton Hills Hydro also reported this week $5,400 in property damage that occurred back in December at its Acton location when two power regulators were smashed repeatedly with a blunt object.
