Three people are dead and others seriously injured after a glacier sight-seeing bus rolled over near the Columbia Icefield in Alberta's Jasper National Park. Tanya Otis with Pursuit, a company that runs sight-seeing tours of the Athabasca Glacier, said one of its Ice Explorer off-road buses overturned en route to the glacier. Photos posted to social media show the red and white bus flipped onto its roof on a rocky slope near the Athabasca Glacier, which is one of the toes of the Columbia Icefield. A webcam still shows the Athabasca Glacier on the Columbia Icefield on Saturday afternoon.
