OTTAWA, March 8 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- One child died and 17 others were injured after a school bus overturned on Saturday in southeastern Quebec, Canada, according to Xinhua quoting local media.

Provincial police reported that four people, including the bus driver, sustained serious injuries, but none are considered life-threatening. Another 13 people suffered minor injuries.
