Why a Union County school bus driver crashed, according to the sheriff’s office
Three students and a school bus driver had minor injuries after a bus ran off of Mill Grove Road and crashed in Union County on Wednesday morning, the sheriff’s office said.
Lt. James Maye said the portion of the road where the crash occurred is curvy, and when the bus began to run off the road, the driver tried to stabilize it. But she overcorrected, he said.
A photo on the sheriff’s office Facebook page showed the bus crashed in a wooded area. There were 33 students inside at the time of the crash.
Maye said there was nothing to indicate any “extreme wrongdoing” by the driver. She wasn’t intoxicated or having a medical emergency, and wasn’t speeding, he said.
The injured students and driver received treatment at the scene, or were referred for additional treatment, the sheriff’s office said.
