PC Leader Jim Prentice and eight other passengers were not injured this afternoon after the campaign bus they were riding in was rear-ended by an SUV belonging to his security team.

The crash happened around 1:45 p.m. MT in Clearwater County near Rocky Mountain House, Alta.

The SUV's airbag was deployed. EMS arrived at the scene, but the driver of the SUV was taken to hospital by a coworker to be checked over, police say.

The investigation indicates the SUV rear-ended the bus.

Dusty conditions may have been a factor in the crash, said Cpl. Drew Abernethy of the Rocky Mountain House RCMP detachment.

There will be no charges.
