I have had several questions on the bus accident on Glenwood Dr this morning.
This is what I know.
A Hamilton County Magnet School bus was stopped for unknown reasons in the traffic lane, a Mitsubishi SUV traveling in the same direction had to stop suddenly, and the SUV fishtailed out of control, left the roadway, hit a pole and bounced back on the road coming to rest at the bumper of the school bus.
There was minor damage to the bumper of the bus.
Several of the students were transported to TC Thompson’s to be checked out and the driver of the SUV was treated at Erlanger and not seriously injured.
Because there were numerous students on the bus, and this will be a lengthy traffic accident investigation report, we do not anticipate it being completed an approved until tomorrow.
