The passengers were traveling to the IREN data center. Due to the number of casualties, \"code orange\" emergency alerts were declared at hospitals in both Mackenzie and Prince George.
Police say about 20 people have been injured after
a shuttle bus crash in northern British
Columbia. BC's Highway Patrol says
the crash happened around 9 a.m. Pacific time on Highway
39. That's just south of Mackenzie,
a small community which in turn is about 160 kilometers north of
Prince George.
So we now know that this happened just after 9 a.m.
That's when the call came in to RCMP
that this white shuttle bus had gone off the road.
It was northbound.
There were contract workers who were headed to Mackenzie.
This happening just outside of Mackenzie.
They were headed there to the IREN data center.
20 passengers on board and a driver.
In terms of the number of injuries that they were dealing with,
they wanted to say that there was a code orange declared
both at the Mackenzie Hospital and in Prince George.
And the code orange remains in print.
Prince George, and that has to do with the number
of injured people that they're dealing with.
Now, IREN is an Australian-based company.
It operates three data centers in British Columbia.
I'm just going to say that they initially
were put in place in B.C. to deal with Bitcoin,
but are being converted over to AI.
