No one injured during crash involving school bus Monday

As the old saying goes, most accidents happen close to home, or, in the case of a Whitley County school bus Monday morning, close to school.

No one was injured during an accident involving school bus #083, which was in route to the main campus with 27 high school and middle school students on board, when the accident occurred about 7:35 a.m.

Superintendent John Siler said that the accident happened on US25W about a quarter mile north of the traffic light in front of the Boulevard of Champions, which leads to the main campus.

Siler said that a car pulled out in front of another car, and during the collision one of those vehicles got knocked into the side of the school bus.

Siler said no students were injured and that to his knowledge no one else was injured during the crash.

The bus sustained no significant damage, and was used to transported the students the rest of the way to school after the accident.

Siler, who arrived at the accident scene just a few minutes after the crash, rode on the school bus with the students the rest of school.

Siler said that he is grateful no one was hurt.
