A final RCMP report into the fatal rollover of an all-terrain tour bus at the Columbia Icefield in the Rocky Mountains is in the hands of prosecutors.
Three people were killed and 14 others had life-threatening injuries after the red-and-white Ice Explorer lost control on the road to the Athabasca Glacier, about 100 kilometres southeast of Jasper, Alta., on July 18, 2020.
The bus with 27 people on board rolled about 50 metres down a moraine embankment before coming to rest on its roof.
The RCMP has not released its report into the rollover. It was initially promised by the spring of last year, then was pushed to the fall.

The Crown will determine if the evidence warrants any criminal charges.
