A school bus driver has been charged with impaired driving after allegedly crashing his vehicle into a garbage truck earlier this week in Niagara Falls then fleeing the area.

The collision happened on Monday near Montrose Road and Lundy’s Lane, just west of the Queen Elizabeth Way.

No students were on the bus at the time of the collision, they said.

The bus driver was arrested a short time later.
