A bus carrying athletes from Hay River to Yellowknife went off the road on Hwy 3 following the closing ceremonies of the Arctic Winter Games on Saturday evening. Sarah Pruys, who was a passenger on the bus along with athletes from Greenland, said it happened around 11:15 p.m.She estimated the bus was about a 25-minute drive outside of Yellowknife at the time. "They couldn't get the door open on the far side of the bus just because it was too deep of snow." Passengers climbed out the bus window and hopped on a second bus that was travelling with them, said Pruys. RCMP and officials from the Arctic Winter Games had not yet responded to requests for comment as of publication time.
