Update #1 DSP News Release: Friday, April 24, 2009- School Bus Crash in Sussex County
Millsboro- This was a single vehicle crash. The school bus was operated by Kathleen Huston, 69, of Millsboro, Delaware. There were 20 children on the bus. Two of the children now have been transported to Beebe Hospital with very minor injuries.
The crash occurred as the bus was traveling northbound on Zoar Road. A student was making her way to the door of the bus while the bus was in motion. The bus driver reached over and pulled the little girl away from the door. The driver inadvertently jerked the wheel while reaching for the student and the bus subsequently went off of the left side of the roadway. The bus then struck a fence.
This is described as a secondary road and thus the traffic impact is minor.
No charges are expected to be filed.
This will be the final release.
