One of nine occupants rescued from a rollover earlier this year is suing Greyhound Canada.
Jesse Campbell-Smith is seeking damages for the injuries suffered when the bus he was in went off Highway 97 about five kilometres north of Hixon on January 14.
In a notice of claim filed this week, he is alleging, in part, that the bus was being driven at a speed excessive for conditions at the time and that he continues to suffer pain, suffering and loss of mobility as a result of the injuries he received.
In all, five ambulances were called to the scene, on Woodpecker Hill.
Three of the occupants were transported to University Hospital of Northern British Columbia with serious but non-life-threatening injuries while six others suffered minor injuries.
At the time, North District RCMP Cpl. Dave Tyreman said the bus lost control on Highway 97 just before 8 a.m., crossed the centre line and ended up in a ditch.
He said it was snowing moderately when he arrived at the scene. He said some sections of the highway, while decent, were a little bit icy, adding the temperature had dipped to -1C overnight.
The bus, which was towing a trailer, was northbound on its way to Prince George from Kamloops.
The bus's driver, Craig Conroy, is also named in the lawsuit. Conroy was also taken to hospital following the crash.
Greyhound has not yet filed a response and the allegations have not yet been tested in court.
