11 Taken to Hospital after Oregon School Bus Crashes
Oregon, OH
Oregon police have responded to two separate school bus accidents that happened near each other and around the same time Thursday morning.
The first accident was near Seaman and Wynn. There were 28 students on bus #43 en route to Clay High School when a car coming from the opposite direction went left of center. The bus driver knew there were only two options to react: allow the car to hit the bus head-on, or swerve to the right of the road, possibly hitting a utility pole and rolling over. The bus driver decided to stay as far to the right as possible. The car still hit the bus head-on.
Following the crash, 10 students were taken to the hospital for minor injuries or to be checked out as a precaution. The driver of the car was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Eighteen additional students, along with the bus driver, were not injured. Another bus came to pick up those students and transport them to school.

WLKY Investigates Stats behind JCPS Bus Crash
Louisville, IN
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.
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.

25 Students Injured in Tennessee School Bus Wreck
Johnson City, TN
A school spokeswoman says more than 25 students have been taken to hospitals in upper East Tennessee after a school bus carrying high schoolers flipped over.
Washington County schools spokeswoman Susan Kiernan says parents may have taken other students as well. She said all but five or six are expected to be released Thursday night.
One girl underwent surgery for head and neck injuries and was in critical condition. The driver was taken by ambulance with chest pain but Kiernan didn't know whether she would be admitted.
Kiernan says 63 students from David Crockett High School were on the bus Thursday afternoon.
Tennessee Highway Patrol spokeswoman Dalya Qualls says the crash happened when the wheels dropped off the side of the road and the driver overcorrected, about eight miles southwest of Jonesborough.
