One man was injured in a crash with a school bus that was possibly caused by driving under the influence, according to news reports.
The accident occurred around 3 p.m. when a 24-year-old man was reportedly driving a Chevrolet pickup in Berkeley County. As he was traveling, the man allegedly tried to cut in between a Berkeley County school bus and a Ford Expedition on Old Whitesville Road, according to news reports.
“Troopers say the pickup clipped the right rear of the school bus and then hit the Expedition before it ran off the road, struck a tree and overturned,” according to news reports.
Police are charging the 24-year-old man with DUI, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
Thankfully, none of the four students onboard the school bus were injured in the collision.
The alleged drunken driver sustained some injuries and was transported to the Medical University of South Carolina.
As an Orangeburg car accident attorney, I’m saddened to hear about this bus accident, especially because it may have involved driving under the influence. I’m glad to hear that none of the children were injured. I hope the driver who was injured is able to make a full and speedy recovery. I urge drivers to never drink and drive.
