Halton Regional police said Burlington resident Jim Leroux died Saturday at the Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga. Leroux, who recently retired, started working as a school bus driver last year. Police say shortly before 8 a.m. on Sept. 6, Leroux was driving the school bus southbound on Bronte Road, near Marine Drive, in the Bronte Harbour district. Sgt. Paul Davies of the Halton Police Collision Reconstruction Unit confirmed Leroux suffered some type of medical distress causing the bus to veer off the road. After mounting the curb, the vehicle struck a tree, smashed through an iron fence and came to rest atop a retaining wall adjacent to Bronte Harbour. An unconscious Leroux was removed from the bus and rushed to Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). He was then transferred to the Trillium Health Centre where he underwent surgery. Two boys, brothers aged 11 and seven, were on the bus at the time of the accident, which occurred at the start of the driver's pick-up day. The youths were not injured. Police said they cannot say whether Leroux passed away as a result of the medical issue or because of injuries sustained in the crash. It is expected a coroner will determine the exact cause of death within the next 30 days. Leroux's family said they would like to thank members of the public and emergency services personnel for taking care of Leroux at the crash site. The bus had passed a mandated Ministry of Transportation inspection in July.
