A bus driver crashed into a ditch early Tuesday morning in Bluffton, S.C., injuring at least one child, according to news reports.
The school bus accident occurred around 7 a.m. Tuesday when a 29-year-old bus driver from St. Helena Island was transporting children to Bluffton Middle School. The driver was on Old Miller Road when she reportedly lost control of the bus and crashed it into a ditch.
At least one of the 18-19 children on the bus was transported to a hospital. The bus driver was “pinned for about 45 minutes” inside the bus.
According to news reports, the bus driver said she was trying to avoid a herd of deer.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol, however, charged the bus driver with driving too fast for conditions.
As a Moncks Corner personal injury lawyer, I’m saddened to hear about this school bus accident. I’m glad to hear that there were not more serious injuries involved in this incident. I hope the child who needed medical attention is able to fully and quickly recover from their injuries.
