Police say a drunken man stole a school bus and crashed into a sign at a roundabout on Highway 26.

Emergency crews were called to the Mosley Street roundabout, just west of Stayner, for a single-vehicle crash on Wednesday night.

According to the OPP, the school bus crashed into a light pole and a sign. The driver of the bus was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say the school bus was stolen, and the driver, a 56-year-old Clearview Township man, was impaired.

The accused now faces eight charges, including impaired driving, theft over $5,000, and careless driving.

He will appear in court in June.
