SYRACUSE, Ind. (AP) — Seven students and two adults have
been released after treatment at a hospital after a school bus collided
with a dump truck in northern Indiana.
Wawasee Community School
Corp. Director of Curriculum Joy Goshert says that after the crash, all
of the students returned to the Wawasee Middle School in Syracuse, about
30 miles southeast of South Bend, where they were met by school nurses
while parents were notified.
Goshert says the students had been on
a field trip to a water park as a reward for working during the school
year on positive behavior.
An Indiana State Police report said
59-year-old bus driver Patricia Myers of Syracuse ran a red light, and
the bus carrying 47 students and 2 adults struck the truck on US. 30 in
Marshall County.
