UDPATE: Members of Shania Twain's production crew were taken to hospital after a bus rolled and a truck jackknifed on the Trans-Canada highway in southeastern Saskatchewan Wednesday morning due to icy road conditions.

Twain was not on the bus.

The crash happened Wednesday morning shortly after 7 a.m. on Highway 1, east of Wolseley, which is 95 kilometres east of Regina.

All 13 people on the bus were taken to Indian Head Union Hospital. Two people were transferred to a hospital in Regina and the others were discharged.

Moose Jaw's Cory Churko, who plays in Shania's band, was said to be unharmed, although it's not clear if he was on the bus.

According to the SaskTel Centre, Twain's show tonight in Saskatoon is going ahead as planned.

Highway 1 was closed east of Wolseley to the Manitoba border yesterday but has since reopened.

The Highway Hotline says as of last night road conditions in southern Saskatchewan are seasonal.

STARS Air Ambulance was also dispatched to a multi-vehicle accident near Chamberlain early Wednesday morning involving at least four semis.
