The 911 calls and police report have been released in the crash that sent more than 50 Jefferson County Public School students to the hospital.
About 7:15 a.m. Friday, a school bus was blindsided by a Ford Mustang.
Fifty-one students were sent to five hospitals.
Now, a newly released police report backs up that account. It states that the Mustang, with three Butler High School students inside, ran a stop sign before it hit the bus, and that the Mustang was going too fast, between 40 and 50 mph.
It was a serious bus accident in a county accustomed to them.
According to Kentucky State Police, there have been 150 crashes involving school buses in Jefferson County so far this year, a pace roughly on par with previous years.
But the number of people injured in those accidents is way up -- 118 so far.
